First aid, "The initial care of the injured or ill"
Imagine youre confronted with your wife/husband or child laying unconscious on the ground. What do you do?
You can call triple zero then wait for the Ambulance to arrive, that could be up to 20 minutes, or you can call triple zero then begin save your loved ones life.
First aid is simple common sense protocols that allow you to treat a person so that they can make it to a hospital.
Ever wondered how to treat a snake bite, or what to do if your wife broke her arm? What if your mate got shot, what do you do?
Well a Senior first aid course is the way to go. I have a good mate Gavin who owns his own first aid company, 'Concise First Aid', and trains small groups in first aid.
Gavin is Ex Australian Army and has served overseas on operations and has used First aid to his advantage to help his mates get back home.
I don't have my senior first aid certificate and want to get it, Gavin has offered a special price for Trackchat members and our families.
The senior First Aid course that Gavin runs will give you national accreditation that you can use at your work and or home.
Usually this type of course cost's upwards of $170 from other organisations.
Gavin charges $120 and for TC members will charge only $90.
For the Defibrillator course add another $60, if you don't know what a Defibrillator is, its a device that shocks the heart when it out of rhythm (Not heart attack as I thought).
The Senior first aid course consists of the following;
Principles of First aid
CPR (Child and adult)
Haemorrhage control
Bullet and stab wounds
Fractures and crush injuries
Environmental injuries
Bites, stings and poisoning
There is more but I have to speak to Gav before I put it up here.
The way the course works is you get a work booklet to do at home before the course. It will take 6 hours in total. Once that is done you attend the practical part of the course and do your testing which only takes one day.
If you are keen then please put your name up here. This will be run in the new year in Sydney subject to numbers, limit of 40.
