Overview

What this course covers

First aid is the immediate help given to someone who is injured or suddenly unwell before professional care arrives, and knowing the right priorities matters at every stage. This programme covers the sequence for assessing a casualty and calling for help, alongside practical guidance for common injuries and medical emergencies.

Learners also cover how to protect themselves while providing first aid and how to apply this knowledge to realistic scenarios. It gives any employee a solid grounding in workplace first aid and works well as an ongoing reference.
