First Aid Skills for Young People
Many of you will have watched the ITVprogramme thisweek called ‘How to Save a Life’. The programme highlighted the possible causes of our country’s very poor cardiac arrest survival rates. Viewers wereasked to consider whether life-saving skills should be taught in schools and were shown a Norwegian school where mandatory training for students has been introduced and survival rates are higher.
At Norvic we believe equippingyoung peoplewith key essential skills is really important and we want to help make this a possibility. As a start we are producing some A4 posters that can be printed from our website. We hope that popping these up on the wall and perhaps running through them with your youngsters each week will be a good start.
The topics we have picked out include;
Asthma, anaphylaxis, fractures, bleeds and making an emergency call.
Do let us know your thoughts and if there is anything else that we can do.
