Dear all

Please find below some free online resources from the British Red Cross including some information on 2 First Aid Apps for you to learn key first aid skills.

And also what to do in a pandemic? The First Aid skills do need to be adapted to keep yourself and everybody around you safe. See below 3 bullet points covered at the beginning of the session which cover this:

• All the First Aid learning is sound and appropriate for yourself and those that you are meeting on a regular basis.
• For any first aid situations outside of your home or your immediate circle of contact please consider how you might adapt the skills to keep yourself safe.
• This might be by giving instructions to the injured person or by keeping your distance and calling for help.

Here is a link to their guidance on Covid-19 and First Aid:
