Dorling Kindersley (DK) and TheBabyWebsite are offering 10 readers the chance to win the brand new First Aid Manual.
From first-aid essentials to life-saving procedures, it’s vital to know what to do to cope with life’s little (and big) emergencies.
The brand new 9th edition of the best-selling First Aid Manual, published by Dorling Kindersley (DK), outlines how to deal with more than 100 medical conditions and injuries, when friends, family or colleagues fall ill or get hurt, whether at home, at work,
in the car, in the gym, on holiday or even playing sport.
The book is divided into 13 chapters. The first three new introductory chapters look at the issues around delivering first aid: what it is like to be a first aider, before, during and – critically – after an event; how to stay safe when managing an incident; and how to go about assessing a casualty.
Keep a copy of the First Aid Manual to hand, whether in your home, office first aid kit or car glove-box, in case of emergency. This book is not only for first aid trainees, but also for anyone who wants an outstandingly clear, accessible guide showing what to do in any first aid situation at home, work or leisure. Now is the perfect time to make a safe investment: buy a copy of this must-have book and with proper first aid training you could save someone’s life.
St John Ambulance, St. Andrew’s Ambulance Association, and the British Red Cross, are the premier first aid trainers in the UK and offer distinct charitable, voluntary and training services, as well as working together to raise standards in first aid. In addition, their volunteers provide first aid cover at public events such as football matches, concerts, and other large gatherings. Each organisation works with other organisations to provide training and runs regular first aid courses for individuals for use in the home, workplace, and in schools or on holiday.
All of these first aid courses are literally life saving and teach procedures for everyone to follow, as well as giving the confidence to provide effective first aid treatment anywhere, at anytime - whether it’s cuts and bruises, a nosebleed or a heart attack.
