Seconds counts when it comes to saving lives.
In emergency situations the seconds really do matter. It’s no exaggeration to say that First Aid saves lives. There are countless people alive today who would not been here were it not for someone being on hand with first aid knowledge when they were in a life or death situation. First aid safety training is one of the most important set of skills anyone can gain.
Not only does it save lives, it can also mean the difference between someone making a full recovery or having a life limiting disability. You will learn how to keep calm in emergency situations and to pass that on to the patient and their loved ones. This emotional support is vital as it can prevent situations from spiralling out of hand. By using simple acronyms you’ll confidently be able to recall what exactly it is you have to do in any given situation.
Some injuries are not life threatening but can be extremely painful. A trained first aider can help make the patient more comfortable until help is able to arrive.
You’ll also be the first point of referral for the emergency services when they do arrive. You’ll know what questions to ask the patient if they’re able to answer for themselves, and those around them if not. You can then pass that essential data onto to the emergency team ensuring the patient gets the right support as quickly as possible.
Having the confidence to handle an emergency situation should it arise is incredibly valuable. You needn’t feel out of your depth should the worse happen. Staff with CPR certification give their colleagues confidence. With first aid certification you’ll have a range of skills and capabilities to tackle any situation. You’ll also learn how to keep yourself safe. It’s not just about being confident in medical emergencies either. Gaining a set of potentially life changing skills can give your confidence a boost in other areas of your life as well.
