Delegates learn to assess a situation safely, recognise when urgent help is needed and give appropriate first aid while awaiting professional medical assistance.
The course combines essential knowledge with practical skills and is suitable where an employer’s first aid needs assessment identifies EFAW as an appropriate level of training.
