LifeLine Training believe that everyone should be confident to use First Aid.

First Aid shouldn’t just be about legal requirements it should be about ensuring that everybody knows what to do when faced with a stressful, emergent and often very emotional situation.

Statistics show that in the majority of cases people who have learned First Aid skills have had to use them on members of their family and friends. In this type of situation it is important, not only to know what to do, but also have practical knowledge of the skills required.

If an accident happens at home or in the workplace, you will not want to be helpless, since simply standing by can potentially worsen the situation. This is why it’s important to have at least a basic knowledge of first aid.
