Another positive move, this time from the Government regarding First Aid. There is a proposal to introduce the teaching of First Aid and CPR in schools from 2020. This will be placed on the National School Curriculum in England as part of wider Health Education Classes.
Then, on BBC News 27th. September 2018 there was a statement that people treated at the scene, not transferred to hospital could save the NHS thousands of pounds. All important and a very good prospect.
Everyone has “accidents”, there are a lot of people out there, any one with training could be in a position to help.
One of the reasons for First Aid in schools is the survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest being poor in countries that do not teach First Aid in schools.
Time matters now. The main course of treatment for out of hospital cardiac arrest is CPR. Quite an easy thing to learn. Done quickly it can be a life saver. You could be the person walking past and can help, or the person walking past has learned CPR and can help you. Which is it to be? Both are as important.
Time matters now. There are many areas where simple First Aid can do a great deal of good, save time and possibly save lives.
Time matters now. You can also help by giving hospitals the time to concentrate on helping people with serious needs. First Aid can deal with the simple things.
Time matters now. Learn: WHAT, WHEN, and WHY
