The Importance of First and CPR Training

In a world where emergencies can arise without warning, the knowledge of first aid and CPR is not just a skill but a vital tool in saving lives. These practices stand as the first line of defence in a medical emergency, bridging the gap between the onset of an incident and professional medical help. The value of these skills cannot be overstated, as they often make the difference between life and death.

Statistics reveal a startling reality: According to the Heart Foundation, nearly 95% of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests pass. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Yet less than 30% of these victims receive bystander CPR. This gap highlights a critical need for widespread CPR training.

Real-life examples further underscore this importance. Take, for instance, the story of a first aid trained teacher who saved a choking student using the Heimlich manoeuvre, a technique often covered in first aid courses. Or consider the countless instances where bystander CPR has kept heart attack victims alive until paramedics arrived. These are not just stories; they are testimonies to the power of CPR and first aid certification.

Our nationally recognised first aid courses are more than just a certification process; they are an investment in the ability to make a real difference in critical situations. By equipping individuals with essential skills such as risk assessment, we’re not just teaching; we’re creating first aid responder lifesavers.
