First Responder Course for Teachers
Who is a First Responder?
A first responder is a person highly trained to provide immediate assistance or aid, during an emergency or disaster, to those in need. First responders play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of their community, and people around them. Their quick response can make a significant difference in saving lives and reducing the severity of injuries.
About the Course
We're empowering teachers as lifesavers!
Our full-day course on emergency aid will teach you how to respond immediately to medical emergencies in the classroom. Using our world-class simulation facilities, you will learn how to ensure your students' safe recovery from:
Electric shock
Near drowning
Seizure
Fainting
Head trauma
Bleeding
Allergic reactions
Breathing difficulties
Scalds and burns
Through simulation and feedback you will learn situational awareness; the necessity for rapid effective communication in the first few moments of an emergency, and how to protect other children from infection risks of uncontrolled bleeding, and the emotional consequences of dramatic situations in class.
Upon completion of this course, all attendees will receive a Certification from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH).
