All Churches need to be prepared should someone fall ill or injure themselves at the Church.

The Church has a duty of care over anyone that visits, from parishioners to volunteers to children at Sunday School or at similar activities.

This 6 hour (plus breaks) course covers typical First Aid situations that might be encountered at a Church, but without all the extras that an Emergency First Aid at Work or Emergency Paediatric First Aid delivers.

Syllabus

Whenever a casualty is mentioned it includes a child (1 – 18 years) if appropriate. This course does not cover infant First Aid as, generally speaking, any infants will not be present without a parent / guardian.

• Action at an emergency / priorities / Record Keeping
• Dealing with an unresponsive casualty who is breathing
• Dealing with an unresponsive casualty who is not breathing
• Use of an Automated External Defibrillator
• Dealing with a casualty who is choking
• Dealing with a casualty who is bleeding – including nosebleeds
• Dealing with a casualty who is having an allergic reaction
• Dealing with a casualty who has an acute medical condition such as a suspected heart attack, stroke, asthma, diabetes or seizure

The course is delivered over 7 hours – the syllabus is 6 hours and an hour is factored in for breaks. By mutual agreement with the Trainer, the break time may be reduced in exchange for a shorter day.
