Are you looking for a small class in Gungahlin?
With instruction and practical training in line with legal, workplace and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies, this first aid course teaches the skills and knowledge to recognise emergencies and provide immediate and effective first aid treatment to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury.
The first aid training course in Canberra covers assessing the casualty, providing safety, accessing emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as CPR and using a defibrillator, administering an autoinjector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, assisting someone who is choking, using appropriate immobilisation techniques for envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains, and managing casualties with non-life-threatening bleeding and shock.
You will learn basic anatomy and physiology, the differences between adults, children, and infants in CPR, the importance of the chain of survival, and the importance of reporting incident details in writing and verbal form. You will also review incidents to improve your skills and response times, recognise psychological impacts and seek help as required.
