A successful First Aid course!

BWVCT organised a low cost certificated Community First Aid course in the village hall to help village members cope with emergencies until an ambulance arrives.   Skills learnt included helping someone choking, the recovery position for unconscious patients, and use of our defibrillator whilst another aider performs CPR.

Thanks to Guardian Advisors who provided excellent training and all who attended left feeling rather more confident in their actions if they were required!
