First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher
First aid skills deteriorate without regular reinforcement and in an emergency, the difference between confident and hesitant action can be significant. This IIRSM-approved, CPD-accredited refresher course covers primary and secondary casualty assessment, CPR and AED use, treatment of burns, wounds and shock, and how to respond to medical emergencies including heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, epileptic seizures, anaphylaxis, diabetic emergencies and poisoning. Completed entirely online, it is designed to complement practical first aid training rather than replace it.
