First Aid is the initial care of a sick or injured person. Prompt first aid can save lives in the critical time before emergency services or medical aid arrives. It can also prevent an injury or illness from becoming worse and provide comfort and reassurance to a casualty.

The key aims of first aid:

• Preserve life of anyone involved in incident
• Protect any unconscious person
• Prevent any further injury or existing injury becoming worse
• Promote recovery of casualty

Learn the essential skills in our safe simulated learning environment with the latest tools and technology. Use our training defibrillator under the guidance or our highly experienced Critical Care Nurse to shock our manikins and to assist you to understand that a prompt response can save lives.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform and apply first aid procedures for those first to encounter an accident scene, incident in the home/community or workplace emergency.
