Immediate help
First aid - the care given before emergency medical help arrives - can literally mean the difference between life and death. But knowing the correct thing to do if someone has a nosebleed or cut is also important.
Being a first aider
First aid is based on knowledge, training and expertise. A first aider will have completed a practical training course under the supervision of a recognised first aid organisation.
If you're present at the scene of an accident, or during a medical emergency, you need to go through the following stages:
Assess the situation
Take control of your feelings, don't act impulsively
Look for continuing danger, to the casualties and to yourself
Decide whether to call for emergency help.
