Emergency First Response – Creating Confidence to Care.
Emergencies happen, and when that happens, we need to be prepared.
Statistics have shown that you will likely give first aid to someone you know than a stranger. And you will likely give first aid when you have undergone training on first aid. When minutes count, you’ll be the person to give the necessary aid to a family member, dive buddy or co-workers, before Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrive.
The Emergency First Response (EFR) Primary and Secondary Care course is an accredited CPR and First Aid program that helps divers and non-divers alike advance their knowledge, providing the skills they need to potentially save a life.
The course builds the confidence and skills needed to provide basic emergency care. You won’t just watch a video, you’ll get hands on practice with a CPR mannequin, simulate bandaging, role play an emergency scenario and other skills. You’ll get to practice each skill until you feel comfortable.
While the material taught in this course is serious, it’s taught in a positive, upbeat environment. Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
BLS (Basic Life Support) CPR and rescue breathing at the layperson level
-
AED (automated external defibrillator) use (optional)
-
Preventing and caring for shock
-
Spinal injury management
-
Use of barriers to reduce disease transmission risk
-
Basic first aid: Illness & Injury Assessment, Bandaging, Management of fractures & dislocations, and first aid kit considerations
A Care for Children course is also available.
After you complete the program, you’ll have the skills necessary to help others should it be necessary. By inviting friends or family members to sign up with you, those you care about the most will be better prepared in case of an unexpected emergency.
This course is open to divers and non-divers alike. There is no age limit to taking this course.
Parents who enrol in this course are encouraged to have their children join too.
