Module 10a\10b – First Aid – Mersey Weaver

Module 10a\10b First Response Course – Mersey Weaver District

This course is primarily for volunteers in programme delivery roles from Mersey Weaver, however if there is space available closer to the date of the course we are more than happy to open up to volunteers across Cheshire.

The first aid training – also known as First Response course – focuses on three main areas:

1. Life support: The principles of first aid and initial response, emergency life support, CPR, choking, and causes and treatment of unresponsiveness.
2. Trauma and injury: Shock, bleeding, fractures and sprains, head injuries, dental incidents, and burns.
3. Major illnesses: Asthma, anaphylaxis, heart attack, stroke, seizures, diabetes, sepsis and meningitis.
