The course lasts only 2hours and covers the following topics
The course is based around a film entitled Buying Time which shows 5 scenarios that you may find yourself confronted by.
The film and the Instructor will review the scenario and show you what to do should you be in that situation.
You will then have a chance to practice what you have been shown and the instructor will be around to help and to ensure you are happy with your new skills.
Its as simple as that and of course you can ask as many questions as you need to.
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Putting Casualties into the Recovery Position
Recognising and Dealing with a Heart Attack
Controlling Severe Bleeding
Dealing with a Choking casualty
The course contains physical activity including putting fellow students / being put into the recovery position. This is done on the floor as if the student is dealing with an unresponsive casualty. Students will also carry out Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) using mannequins.
Students that are unable to carryout the above may still take part in the course but will be assessed on their ability to coach a "bystander" in the required techniques
