Full Description:

The course covers the role and responsibilities of an Emergency First Aider, consent, infection prevention, incident recording and safe use of first aid equipment. Learners practise scene assessment, the Primary Survey (DR ABC), CPR, AED use, Recovery Position and emergency communication.

Learners also develop the skills to recognise and manage choking, seizures, bleeding, shock and minor injuries including cuts, grazes, splinters and minor burns or scalds. Optional life-threatening bleeding content can include wound packing and tourniquet use where appropriate.
