Save life, save the world with your two hand!

First Aid is the help given to someone who is injured or ill, to keep them safe until they can get more advanced medical treatment by seeing a doctor, health professional or go to hospital.

The role of a first aider is to give someone this help, while making sure that they and anyone else involved are safe and that they don’t make the situation worse.

A first aider has various responsibilities when dealing with an emergency situation.

A first aider should:

Manage the incident and ensure the continuing safety of themselves, bystanders and the casualty
Assess casualties and find out the nature & cause of their injuries
Arrange for further medical help or other emergency services to attend
If trained, priorities casualties based upon medical need
Provide appropriate first aid treatment as trained
If able, make notes/observations of casualties
Provide a handover when further medical help arrives
Fill out any paperwork as required
The first aider is to provide immediate, lifesaving, medical case before the arrival of further medical help. This could include performing procedures such as:

Placing an unconscious casualty into the recovery position
Performing Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
Using an automated external defibrillator (AED)
Stopping bleeding using pressure and elevation
Keeping a fractured limb still
A first aider’s overall aim should be to preserve life. Other aims of first aid include preventing the worsening of the patient’s condition and to promote recovery.
