Previous first aid knowledge & experience is recommended, suitable for construction workers in remote areas, farm hands, heavy industries, sports officials, anyone requiring advanced first aid certification or members of the general community looking to progress their first aid skills.
This course goes one step further, it provides advanced knowledge to apply first aid principles in an emergency response and life support situation until medical assistance arrives. Many accident scenes are of a complex, time-sensitive, or life-threatening nature. While basic first aid training might allow you to “hold the fort” until help arrives, there are times when quickly providing the proper care can be a matter of life or death. Instruction on basic first aid and CPR will be provided, as well as treatments specific to advanced conditions, such as hypothermia or hyperthermia, head, neck and spinal injuries, using tourniquets and haemostatic dressings for life-threatening bleeding, and managing a casualty in shock.
