You never know when a first aid emergency might happen at work. From minor incidents to serious medical situations, being prepared can save lives. That is why regular refresher training is so important, even if you have already completed a practical course.
Bright Thinking Online offers an IIRSM, Institute of Hospitality and CPD approved Emergency First Aid at Work Annual Refresher course. It is designed to keep your knowledge sharp and ensure you are ready to act with confidence and care if something goes wrong.
What the course includes
The course covers the most common first aid scenarios and what to do in each case. It is ideal for employees who have previously completed a one-day Emergency First Aid at Work practical course and want to refresh their skills before recertification.
The course is split into 16 practical modules:
What is first aid
Barriers, ABCDs and the recovery position
CPR and AEDs
Choking
Bleeding
Shock
