Creating Confidence to Care
This or some other form of First Aid is a pre-requisite to receiving certification of the PADI Rescue Diver. The PADI EFR course is split into two parts Primary and Secondary Care and is not just focused at divers. This course is valuable for anyone to take as it teaches you how to deal with emergencies you may come across in day to day life.
The Primary Care section of the course teaches you how to respond to life threatening emergencies and helps to give you the confidence to provide care if a real life emergency were to arise. Skills such as scene assessment, barrier use, primary assessment, rescue breathing, airway management, bleeding management and shock management are taught.
The Secondary Care section of the course covers injury and illness which are not immediately life threatening and this part of the course focuses on first aid. We teach skills such as injury assessment, illness assessment, bandaging, splinting for dislocations and fractures, electrical injuries and burn injuries.
Certification following this course is valid for 2 years after which a re-fresher will be needed to ensure that you stay current with any changes.
The course is performance based and usually takes a Saturday to complete. The course cost is £95.00 and will be run on Saturday 23rd October 2010.
