If you’re ever in a situation where you need to use a public access defibrillator (PAD) and you have never learnt how to use one, or you forget the steps, just turn it on and listen closely.

Defibs have a built-in automated voice that will talk you through the steps, so they can be used by anyone to help save a life!
