Training
University of Essex LINKS offers a full
range of first aid courses giving you essential skills that could
ultimately save a life.
Monday night meetings
During term times all members of University of Essex
LINKS are invited to a regular weekly training
session every Monday night.
These sessions are informal, but tailored specifically
for students. Everyone who attends leaves with a much
better understanding of the basic skills required to administer
first aid in any situation.
Courses
For those members
who join St John Ambulance, formal courses are made
available to train students to assist with
event cover. All members who wish to volunteer
for duties
will be trained to a minimal standard
of "Essential Care Skills". As more experience is gained from
treating patients on duties
further courses can be
added. These include the Health & Safety Executive
recognised "First Aid at Work" course, through medical gas
administration, and up to ambulance level courses.
