We are hosting a free one day first aid course for volunteers on Sunday October 4th, 9am - 3pm. This is a small group in-person training with a friendly trainer, and, after a short informal assessment at the end, you'll leave with a recognised Emergency First Aid at Work qualification that is valid for three years. This course would cost around £110 if you booked it independently but as a volunteer with us you can take part for free. 

This is a useful qualification for work, community activities, but also just for day to day life, as we never know when we'll encounter an emergency. 

You will learn...

• the role of the first-aider
• how to assess emergency situations so you can act safely and quickly;
• how to administer first aid to a casualty who is unconscious (including seizure);
• how to correctly perform CPR;
• how to help someone who is choking;
• how to help someone who is wounded and bleeding;
• how to help someone who is suffering from shock;
• how to provide appropriate first aid for minor injuries.
