12 Laerdale training defibrillators are being updated and prepped for the next course.
Everybody has their own training defibrillator, so no one has to wait, meaning you get more practise time.
Everyone also gets their own CPR mannequin, no waiting and much more hygienic.

Much closer to home this week in Fort William and Onich; next week will be in Argyll and Mallaig.
Did you know that injuries to the cervical spine — the seven vertebrae in your neck — can have the most serious consequences of any spinal injury?
The seventh cervical vertebra (C7) marks the base of the neck and is easy to locate: it’s the most prominent bony point you can feel at the back of your neck.
In the photo, you can see our learners practising spinal management technique — keeping the head and neck still while we assess and move a casualty safely.
