First aid advice

[wendy]

Everyone should learn basic first aid techniques. You never know when you might need them - you could be at home, at work, at school or on holiday.

Whether it's a minor situation or something more serious, first aid knowledge will give you the confidence to act. You could be the difference between life and death.

Deal with every day cuts and scrapes and nosebleeds.

First aid advice is also available for asthma, fractures, sunburn, poisons, low blood sugar  and more.

Heart and circulatory disease is the UK's biggest killer. Learn how to recognise and treat heart attacks and shock.

I totally agree.

it is easy to do even with a little knowledge.

There is something run by the British heart foundation that teaches free of charge how to do it.

You never know when you might need a bit of skill.

Knowing basic first aid can save a life, I think everyone should learn the basics.
