CPR and emergency First Aid Members Only

This practical 4 hour course teaches participants skills that could save a baby, child or adult’s life. Using realistic manikins and scenarios, as well as Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), participants get a demonstration of how a defibrillator works, learn how to recognise the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and stroke, practice the first aid for choking and drowning plus much more.

Topics covered include:

• Medical emergencies: a protocol to follow.

• How to call for emergency help in Switzerland and what to say.

• How to assess a person’s level of consciousness.

• Putting an unconscious person into a safe position (the ‘Recovery Position’).
