Emergency First Aid Refresher Course Online Description
IIRSM Approved
What is Emergency First Aid?
Well, it’s exactly that, the first aid to be offered if an incident occurs. Not many of us are confronted with scenes of blood and gore in our everyday lives – so usually first aid could be as simple as sticking a plaster on a small cut.
But what if you did find yourself confronted with a more serious situation? Our Emergency First Aid at Work Refresher Course online will highlight some of the most common situations that you might come across and the actions that you can take to help.
What is the role of a First Aider?
In the most serious situations, a first aider’s role will be to assess the scene so that accurate information can be passed to Emergency services and then to act appropriately in order to try and increase the patient’s odds of survival.
