Unfortunately it is NOT taught generally as part of the school curriculum considering that school leavers will one day become parents and workers in the community where they will have a general, "duty of care" for their co-workers and more so for their family. The skills are simple to learn and can be a life changing experience for those not treated early. I have been teaching First Aid since 1980
being employed by the British Red Cross based in Victoria, London, England. For three years I also served in the Royal Army Medical Corp Territorial Army based in Kennington. I moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in 1989 and then attached myself to the St John Ambulance, becoming a mentor, Trainer and in charge of a cadet division in Fenham, west of Newcastle. In 2002 I was employed as a sessional trainer, having gone back to the British Red Cross on the commercial training side and in 2005 becoming a volunteer looking after event cover locally. I am also trained up to an ambulance technicians. I provide a unique service and will train up to 6 people FREE on a 1 Day Emergency First Aid course which is fully certificated for three years. If you like my service you may use me again and if not 6 people in your organisation have been trained for FREE. The certification for registering the course with Qualsafe and producing the certificate will be £9.00. I undercut the regular First Aid Providers by over 50% as I have few overheads and can yet keep the same quality of service. I have taught at Tyne Met College, Sunderland College, Newcastle College, Kirkley Hall Agricultural College, Stockton Riverside, Army cadets, my local Brownies and Girl Guides and local schools. I generally teach the same syllabus to all organisations but do adapt it to my client group along with additional enhanced skills which I believe should be taught as a matter of course.
