Seniors First Aid Course
Our non-accredited Seniors First Aid course is designed specifically for mature individuals and their caregivers. We understand that performing CPR on the floor can be challenging for seniors, often making standard CPR certification courses inaccessible.
This informative session addresses the unique first aid needs of seniors, focusing on practical techniques that accommodate physical limitations. Our course demonstrates modified CPR methods that do not require kneeling, empowering you to respond effectively in emergencies.
Course Content: Key Topics Covered
- Falls and Fractures: Learn how to assess and manage common fall-related injuries in seniors.
- Wound Care: Understand proper techniques for treating minor wounds, including applying direct pressure, preventing infection, and managing burns.
