First Aid consists of lifesaving skills such as CPR, wound management, and how to respond to medical emergencies like heart attacks or choking incidents. Additionally, you’ll understand how to assess injuries, provide immediate care, and prioritise actions in various critical situations until professional medical help arrives.
First aid is not only about acquiring practical skills but also about promoting a culture of safety and preparedness. Whether it’s administering CPR, providing basic wound care, or assisting someone in shock, having first aid knowledge empowers individuals to take immediate action and make a positive difference in critical moments
