First Aid Course
On the 16th of April we started our three day first aid course. For the course we were split up into our forms and we had our courses in different places in the school. My forms course was in the Pavillion. When we started we were all given a first-aid handbook. The first thing we talked about was heart conditions and cardiac arrest. Then we practiced cpr on a dummy and then we got masks to use for mouth to mouth. After that we learned how to use an AED. That was the end of the first day.
On Tuesday we learned how to do certain types of bandages and slings. We also learned the recovery position and how to give a baby cpr.
On Wednesday, we went back over everything we'd done, and after break we had an exam, which involved a written test and a practical exam.
I really enjoyed the first aid course as it was fun and very beneficial as I learned the necessary skills to help someone in need of first aid.
