SUMMARY:Adult First Aid for Family Carers
DESCRIPTION:Helping family carers feel more able\, willing\, and confident to provide first aid in everyday situations. \n\n\n\nDid you know 85% of adults would not know what to do if someone collapsed and was not breathing? Let’s reduce that number and give you the skills and confidence to help in a first aid emergency. During the workshop\, participants will have the opportunity to practice hands-on techniques for administering CPR\, understanding how and when to use AEDs and also how to help someone that is unresponsive\, but breathing.The instructor\, Capricia (Community Education Co-Ordinator\, Red Cross) will provide step-by-step guidance on how to assess a situation\, prioritise care\, and effectively communicate with emergency services.By the end of the workshop\, attendees will feel more confident in their ability to respond to medical emergencies and provide crucial assistance until professional help arrives. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this is not a certification\, it is purely knowledge and confidence building workshop should there be a first aid emergency for your cared for or your family. \n\n\n\n\nBOOK YOUR PLACE HERE
