About Course

Welcome to our First Aid Course. As healthcare professionals, the ability to respond effectively to medical emergencies is paramount in ensuring the safety and well-being of patients, colleagues, and visitors.

Our comprehensive program is designed to equip healthcare staff with the essential knowledge and skills needed to assess and manage a wide range of medical emergencies with confidence and competence.

Through a combination of theoretical instruction, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn basic life support techniques, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), as well as how to recognize and respond to common medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest, choking, and allergic reactions.

We also cover trauma care, legal and ethical considerations, and personal reflection to ensure that participants feel prepared and empowered to handle any emergency that may arise in the healthcare setting.
