Red Cross Training Proposal
Red Cross Training Proposal
V. RATIONALE
This one-day training is for anyone over 16 who wants to learn adult first aid
for their everyday life, rather than as a requirement of their job (in which case a
workplace course could be more suitable). It is ideal for people who are more likely
to need to use first aid, e.g. if you play sports, enjoy travelling, commute regularly or
care for a relative.
It covers a range of life-saving skills such as unresponsiveness, heart attack,
choking and seizures. The course attracts people looking to learn first aid for many
different reasons, such as:
wanting to be able to help their family, friends or neighbours
preparing for university or working abroad during a gap year
being involved with local community groups or sports clubs
having experienced a real life emergency.
You'll receive practical, hands-on learning. Our friendly trainers will help you
learn some key skills you really need to know:
dealing with an emergency
unresponsive – breathing
unresponsive – not breathing (cardiopulmonary resuscitation – CPR)
seizures
burns
bleeding heavily
broken bones, strains and sprains
head injury
choking
heart attack
stroke
severe allergic reaction
diabetic emergency.
