What is First Aid?
‘First Aid‘ is the initial help provided to someone who has suddenly become sick or injured, with the aim of preserving life, preventing the illness or injury from becoming worse, reducing pain, and promoting recovery.
All of our programmes meet the latest Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the current Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) guidelines.
