All squadron staff attended a first aid refresher training day today. We all passed the emergency first aid at work course a year ago and in keeping with good practice had a one day refresher in order to keep our knowledge current.
We went into quite some depth covering not only the basics of CPR, bandaging, burns and treating sock but also advanced subjects such as treating gunshot wounds, knife / stabbing injuries, casualty evacuation and defibrillator training.
Below are a few photos of the day.
