Learning First Aid can be the difference in Life and Death

Unfortunately, accidents can — and do — happen, everywhere. When they do, it’s those first few moments after an accident that is crucial to whether the person survives or not. Knowing how to perform simple procedures to keep a person breathing and how to administer basic treatment to stop a person from bleeding excessively, can help save a life, or at least reduce the severity of an incident until professional medical help arrives.

You can learn how to do this by undertaking a ‘Breaths for Life’ First Aid course. A course such as this will teach you all the basics, and what to do in any number of emergency situations.

Imagine if it’s someone you know…. Wouldn’t you want to give them the best chance of surviving by performing basic First Aid? Taking a ‘Breaths for Life’ First Aid course can save someone you love from pain and suffering, and even death.

The bottom line: Accidents happen. Accidents happen all the time.

You know you need to learn (or get a refresher on) CPR, first aid, and maybe even home-safety. Why do you keep putting it off? We are not talking about putting off hanging the new drapes, getting ready for the garage sale, or any of the other things we all put off… We are taking about the safety and lives of our kids, grandkids, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbours. Could the reason you keep putting it off be perhaps you think you’ve seen CPR performed so many times on TV shows or movies that you assume you know enough. Or maybe… you just think (hope, pray) that you'll never need to know.

How? The tools you need to save your child's life are really not as difficult to learn as you think. We have the most streamlined, intuitive, and up-to-date courses for you, and for the ones you love.

Parents are being urged to learn baby CPR with the help of an online video. A poll of 2000 people for St John Ambulance shows that a baby who is unconscious and not breathing is a parent's biggest fear - but only one in four would know what to do.

Doctors like saving lives. We don't like unnecessary deaths. That is why the results of a new study into out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in NSW are so frustrating - the medical profession knows what needs to be done to reduce the number of deaths.
