First Aid & Life Support

What is First Aid?

First Aid is the immediate care provided to someone who has been injured or is experiencing a sudden illness. Understanding first aid empowers you to respond quickly and effectively in emergencies—offering essential support until professional medical help arrives. Whether it’s a minor injury or a life-threatening situation, timely and skilled first aid can save lives, prevent long-term complications, and significantly improve recovery outcomes.

Who is a First Aid Provider?

A First Aid Provider is someone trained to:

Recognize medical emergencies
Assess the situation and determine necessary care
Provide appropriate and immediate first aid
Understand their limits and seek further medical assistance when needed

First aid providers are often the first line of response in critical situations, playing a crucial role in improving outcomes before emergency services arrive.
