Sport First Aid Training

This course is designed to give you the theoretical knowledge as to what to do if you find someone unconscious, ill or injured. This course is also an excellent First Aid Training package for people to gain invaluable knowledge at their own time and pace.

The course consists of handouts and videos and a short test yourself section fully compatible with all computers and mobile devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and on completion you will be able to print your Certificate.

It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect illness or injury, you should always seek immediate professional medical advice.

Task

Watch the video and download the sheet (or scribble your own notes on a piece of paper like I suggest in the video) Try and complete the sheet under the headings. Think about what you would do as a first aider if you were first on the scene, how would you deal with the casualty, and what would you do when the emergency services arrived.

If you are struggling don't worry, watch the next lecture and then come back and try again.

You dont need to upload the sheet.

In this video we will address the fear of infection. Especially in the current climate with COVID -19 still prevalent we need to ensure we as first aiders are kept safe. We will talk about how to minimise the risk of infection with appropriate PPE and hand washing.

Learn how to wash your hands correctly , make sure you download the attached sheet and practice!

Make sure you download the resources attached and also watch the external video on how to set up What 3 Words.

Learn how to call the EMS and what to tell them as well as how to prepare for their arrival.

Have a look at the attached resources to set up the text service for the EMS especially useful if you are hearing impaired (UK) and the silent 55 resource (useful if you can't speak).

When you are watching this video we will be encouraging you to practice on yourself or on another (or maybe a teddy or pillow).

Download the resources attached to help you and remember to start and stop the video as often as you like.

Practice the recovery position on both sides - and if you have a casualty, ask them to be floppy and act like a sack of potatoes (if you let go of their hand they should just flop it back to the floor again)!
