How are you structuring continuing ed once the season is in full sprint? We currently do a 20-minute EAP scenario and a CPR/AED skills check every Wednesday at 8:15 before the tower opens, but I’m looking for ways to keep it engaging without slowing morning checks or guest flow, and still tighten response times.
And > 20-minute EAP scenario — it drags mid-season, , so we switched to 3-minute micro-drills at 8:15: two people rotate a stopwatched collapse-to-shock with the trainer AED while others finish checks, and we post times on a whiteboard. We still do one full scenario weekly, but the daily micro reps got us under 90 seconds without slowing opening or guest flow. Could you stagger by position so tower runs first while other zones cycle in right after their checks?
We swapped the long block for QR scenario cards at each zone — on first rotation, the pair scans, runs a 90‑second stay‑at‑post AED+radio drill, and logs time on a tiny Google Form we review at the afternoon huddle, so opening checks aren’t slowed. Small caveat: we pre‑clear a 10‑minute window with ops so it never collides with dispatch; @simonB44, think this would fly at your tower?
Quick tweak that stuck for us: a random radio phrase between 8:10–8:30 triggers the nearest pair to sprint to ‘pads on’ at-post in under 60s, then tap an NFC sticker on the AED cabinet to auto-log — no hit to dispatch and our median fell from 72s to 48s. @sallyM45, do you have NFC/QR on your cabinets or would a tiny form work better?
