Course description: This course teaches you the foundations of being able to help others in the unfortunate event of an accident, injury or illness and how to sustain life until the Emergency Services arrive. The course is broken into two sections: an eLearning section that you complete in your own time prior to the course (internet access required for this) and the practical session, which is instructor led.
During the course you will learn key skills such as recognising when Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is required, how to do CPR, how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) as well as managing risk through use of barriers / PPE. We also cover common first aid scenarios such as bleeds, broken bones, burns, bites, blows, field neurological exams and choking.
