First Aid Training

Above all else, the main aim of First Aid is to preserve life, prevent the patient’s condition from worsening, and promote recovery.

 On Monday the 21st of May we had 25 people attend and participate in our First Aid Training.  There was a good mix of us present, some have had previous first aid experience and were there to refresh their knowledge, while others were coming in fresh ready to learn all they can.

A full-on all-day workshop, all participants learnt about how they could potentially save a life in exceptional circumstances. We learnt how to put a patient into the recovery position, proper CPR technique, and how to manage allergic reactions among other key elements. It’s important to know the basics of First Aid because you never know when it will come in handy, and who’s life you could save.
