First Aid Training

First Aid Training

This was a very enjoyable course.We were taught life saving skills which we can use throughout our life and will hopefully be able to use these to save somebody's life if that situation ever arises.
We were shown how to deal with and treat the following:

1) How to deal with different situations appropiately
2) The Recovery Position
3) How to carry out CPR on dummies and how to put this into practise in real life situations
4) How to treat somebody who is choking: backslaps and abdominal thrusts
5) Heart Attacks- signs and symptoms and how to initially treat
6) Serious Bleeds - how to bandage arms,legs and head.We practised on each other.
