While there is no wrong way to rescue someone, there are some methods more effective than others. It is preferred and most effective methods that are covered on this course. The First Aid Responder Course is not a medical qualification and medical terms are kept to a minimum.
You will therefore not be expected to diagnose medical problems, but you will be able to recognise the signs and symptoms.

Learning Outcomes

1. Recognise and Assess the causes and effects of sudden illness and/or injury in a pre-hospital environment and call for emergency medical services.
2. React to such pre-hospital emergencies (plus those generated by “Special

3. Respond in a safe, effective, and appropriate manner to such emergencies utilising the First Aid Response skill set and in accordance with PHECC CPGs as part of the prehospital continuum of care.
4. Record and Report actions and interventions taken while responding to and managing such incidents and during handover to emergency medical services.
5. Retain a professional and caring attitude in their performance as First Aid Responders.
The learning objectives in the standard refer
