Pre-Conference Workshop: CPR, AED, and First Aid with an Emphasis on Accidents in Remote Situations
All attendees will receive a 2 Year Certification; no written test is required. 9:00am-12:00noon on Wednesday, February 15.
“You’re Hurt and Help Is Far Away. Will You Know What To Do?
Let’s face it, accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Someone’s head hurts, a sudden fall occurs, another person is having wrenching gut pain – Would you know what to do? By learning and implementing well-tested first aid skills, you can make the difference between a good outcome and a bad one – and maybe even save a life!
Students will learn the essential skills of Primary Assessment, Rescue Breathing, C.P.R., Use of an AED, Choking, Control of Bleeding, Head Injury Assessment, Shock Management, Injury Assessment and Continuing Circle of Care. All skills are taught “Hands – On” with an emphasis on remote location situations, so you’ll know what and how to do things when it truly matters most.
Taught by Medic First Aid Master Instructor Donald Ferris, who has trained over 14,000 students, what to do when it counts most. You’re going to love this program, we guarantee it!”
