First Aid Course

In all situations, a First Aid Course is more useful if undertaken before it’s required and doubly so for the treatment of illness or injuries sustained during an actual emergency.

Some basic techniques and acumen are garnered through life experience, such as knowing to exert direct pressure to a bleed or how to apply an adhesive bandage; however, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or invasive procedures can carry further risk to an already ill patient if not administered correctly.

This is why effective first aid interventions require clear instruction and practical, demonstrable First Aid Training.

Ewan is a great boss to work for. He’s been in the role for three decades since graduating from school and has maintained his high attention to detail. He is considerate but has made it clear he has high expectations in your ability to perform the tasks of your role.

One day you find Ewan has great difficulty remembering even the basic aspects of his job, his speech comes haltingly and he keeps dropping his mobile phone.

Do you know what these symptoms might indicate and what actions you need to take to ensure Ewan receives an appropriate level of care in a timely manner?

Given Ewan’s history, the symptoms described suggest he may have had a stroke and the longer it remains untreated, the greater the likelihood of brain damage.

Ewan requires emergency medical intervention as soon as possible after such symptoms present greatly improves Ewan’s chance of survival and successful rehabilitation.
