Why learn First Aid?

Imagine the scene, someone collapses in front of you, it may be a close family member, a co-worker or even a complete stranger!

What do you do? Stand there helplessly as a bystander being no help at all or step forward, take charge of the situation and try to make a difference, try to PRESERVE LIFE, PREVENT DETERIORATION AND PROMOTE RECOVERY.

Giving first aid to someone who is seriously ill or injured may make the difference between life and death for the stricken person.

The most serious condition is a sudden cardiac arrest where the heart stops completely stopping the vital process of oxygenated blood being circulated around the body feeding the brain and other parts of the body.

CPR chest compressions and rescue breathing are vitally important in maintaining this process and keeping the window of opportunity for resuscitation open as long as possible, hopefully until EMS arrive to take over.

CPR is so vital that it is one of the first subjects taught in a first aid course and recently has had some high profile campaigning to promote it, remember the Vinnie Jones advertisement on the TV?

You can easily learn how to carry out the life saving technique of CPR and learn lots of other practical first aid skills by taking a first aid training course in Esssex, London or anywhere else in the UK.

There are many first aid training providers out there and there are several different types of first aid training courses to choose from dependent on your requirements, for example you can choose a HSE approved first aid training course for your workplace, an OFSTED compliant Paediatric First Aid Training course for child carers and nursery workers or just a BASIC LIFE SUPPORT training course.

You can even learn how to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) which is crucial for shocking a heart in Ventricular Fibrillation allowing it stop and start again in its normal rythmm.
