COMBINED CARDIAC FIRST RESPONSE & EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE COURSE
This PHECC accredited Course provides the participant with both the Cardiac First Responder and Emergency First Responder in one combined course.
Apart from saving money by taking the Courses together, the successful participant emerges with a level of skills that will provide them with the ability to deal confidently with any medical or trauma related emergency, in the workplace, on the street or at home, until professional help arrives.
Given the apparent rise in the incidence of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) in track and field events, footballing and other areas of strenuous physical activities these Courses are worthwhile when you consider that YOU could be the one to save someone's life!
