Course Information

This basic first aid course is specifically aimed at members of the public who want to know what to do when faced with a medical emergency involving people of all ages.   It is suitable for young people and adults (though young people under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult member of the family or guardian).

It involves 3 hours of tuition and includes an element of assessment (i.e. no formal examination). No previous first aid experience is required.

Topics covered include:

Ø  Role of the first aider, principles of first aid, equipment and prevention of cross-infection.

Ø  Assessments of situation and casualty

Ø  Airway, breathing and circulation assessment

Ø  Recovery Position and treatment of unconscious casualties

Ø  Basic life support (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation – CPR)

Ø  Choking

Ø  Treatment of severe bleeding and shock

As the name suggest, this is a ‘basics’ course and as such does not cover the requirements for workplace first aid (such as FAW or EFAW). People attending the course will however receive a handbook and attendance certificate
