About our first aid training

First aid refers to the prompt assistance provided to someone who is injured or unwell before emergency medical professionals take over. Its primary goals are to save lives, minimise further injury, and support the recovery process. This can include anything from treating minor cuts to performing critical procedures such as CPR.
