Standard First Aid Training Overview

What is First Aid?
First aid refers to the initial care given to a person who is suddenly injured or becomes ill before professional medical help arrives. It includes the immediate assessment of the situation, identifying any potential dangers and making the area safe, and providing basic life support such as CPR if necessary.
The aim of first aid is to stabilize the injured person and prevent the condition from getting worse until medical help arrives. First aid can also include the administration of medication, application of bandages or dressings for wounds, and treatment for shock or other medical conditions.
Knowing how to provide basic first aid can make a huge difference in an emergency situation, and it can also help save lives. It is important to learn first aid techniques and keep a first aid kit on hand to be prepared for any type of emergency.
