Lesson 1

First Aid for Me

During school hours there are a number of scenarios that might require a teacher to perform First Aid. St John has a 15-min First Aid guide that will help you deal with minor playground injuries from a game of chasey or tag gone wrong, to more serious health conditions such as a severe allergic reaction.

This course is designed for teachers and education professionals who are in the care of children above two years old.

This course will cover:

  • DRSABCD action plan – learn the steps in assessing whether someone has any life-threatening conditions before administering first aid
  • Asthma – learn how to identify an asthma attack and the proper way to administer medication
  • Anaphylaxis – learn what to do if someone is having a severe allergic reaction and how to properly administer an EpiPen®.
