You’ll learn about:
- Managing a first aid incident
- Offering emergency life support such as CPR
- Helping in situations where a person is unconscious
- Dealing with common scouting injuries including bleeding, sprains and head injuries
- A basic understanding of some of the major illnesses: asthma, stroke, diabetes, and so on
How do I do it?
Face to face: with a trainer and it can be one single session or two shorter sessions
Online: a number of short online trainer led sessions and a face to face practical session
