FIR1: First Aid

'First Aid': Appointed Persons + Natural First Aid

First Aid for Complementary Therapists

This is a dynamic 1-day seminar in essential First Aid skills that includes Appointed Person/Emergency Life Support training incorporating the national recommendations for Emergency Aid of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) document HSG212.

As well as training in Emergency/Appointed Person First Aid, there will be sessions on adverse reactions and Anaphylactic Shock, particularly relevant to the therapist working alone, plus a fascinating introduction to the use of Natural Remedies in First Aid - for the personal use of those attending.
