First aid course

It may seem weird, but even though I'm working as a full time paramedic, I still need a current first aid certificate.

Which is fine and I kept an open mind, especially since I'm not paying!

So off I went to the local first aid training company which, ironically, is the same company I work for.

It was a good course and I enjoyed the day. There was the usual guy whom had done and seen everything the first aid trainer talked about (poor trainer!), but I learnt a few things that had changed since the last time I did a first aid course (such as DRSABCD with the inclusion of S = Send for Help; and a constructive bandage now being referred to as a tourniquet).

Overall a good day and best part was, I passed! :)
