About This Course
Learn how to assess an emergency, provide appropriate care and support an injured or ill person until professional help arrives. During realistic scenarios, you put your knowledge and skills into practice.
What you will learn:
Primary Care (CPR):
- You’ll practice eight skills for aiding patients who aren’t breathing and have no heartbeat
- How to handle patients that may have a spinal injury, may be in shock or who may have serious bleeding.
- You’ll learn how to perform CPR and continue to monitor the patient so that you provide every possible chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.
Secondary Care (First Aid):
Because many medical conditions are not life-threatening and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, this course teaches you how to provide first aid that eases pain and reduces the risk of further harm. You’ll learn to assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.
