Emergency/Basic First Aid

Emergencies can happen unexpectedly at home, in the workplace, in healthcare settings, or within the community. Having the knowledge and confidence to respond quickly can help reduce the severity of injuries, prevent complications, and, in some cases, save lives before emergency medical services arrive. Basic first aid skills are valuable for healthcare professionals, first responders, workplace personnel, caregivers, and members of the public who may be called upon to provide immediate assistance during an emergency. The Emergency/Basic First Aid course is designed to provide learners with the essential knowledge and practical understanding required to recognise emergencies, assess situations safely, and provide immediate first aid until professional medical assistance becomes available. The course combines theoretical learning with practical first aid principles and follows evidence-based emergency care practices commonly taught within healthcare and workplace first aid education.
