Develop lifesaving skills by completing one of our interactive First Aid programmes.
Having a basic understanding of what to do if an accident occurs or if someone falls ill unexpectedly is an essential life skill which not only benefits the individual, but also others in their community.
Whilst emergencies can happen at anytime, only 7% of people in the UK can give the correct advice and feel confident enough to give first aid. Simple skills can be learned in just a few minutes – like what do if someone becomes unconscious – can save lives.
Depending on the previous experience and duration of the session topics could include how to get help, how to treat a bleed or broken bones, common conditions such as asthma, epilepsy or diabetes, or when and how to perform CPR.
As well as practical skills and knowledge individuals will also have more confidence to deal with a medical emergency or know the process to get help and support
