First aid
First aid ran from 16th April-18 April 2018. The first two days were for learning the theory and doing the practical work. Wednesday was for completing the PHECC exam and practical. The practical exam involved demonstrating two types of slings, the recovery position and CPR, it was necessary to know how to use de defib too. On Monday, we learnt how to do a perfect CPR and how to identify when someone is having a heartattack. We also learnt how to use a defibrillator . On Tuesday, we learnt how to do slings and how to put someone into recovery position . On Wednesday, we learnt a bit about epilepsy and how to deal with epileptic fits. After, we completed the written exam, this included 22 questions and we had to get 10 correct to pass. I achieved a distinction in first aid (85%) and I'm delighted to say I can help if needed. I really enjoyed this course and felt it was very beneficial and interesting, i would definitely recommend this to the younger years as it’s a very useful skill that can save people’s lives.
