Whether you are an experienced first aider or not, finding yourself in a situation that requires some first aid to be administered requires you to keep calm and make informed decisions:

At First Response Resuscitation and First Aid Training, we are committed to sharing our knowledge and expertise on all matters of first aid. The topic of seizures is so wide; we thought we’d start by looking at the different types of seizures, and some related first aid advice.

Resuscitation or first aid is probably the last thing on your mind at this time of year, but reluctantly it might end up being the first.

Thanks to the FAST advertising campaign (Face. Arms. Speech. Time), our awareness of the symptoms of a stroke, and understanding the importance of acting quickly has grown.

Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) requires the ambulance service call handler to ask you a systematized series of key questions. These questions allow the system to categorize the call by the chief complaint (What is wrong with the patient). The 999 call is then automatically categorized as to the level of response by the ambulance service.
