Summary
Overview
Emergency First Aid at Work covering the full HSE syllabus
Adapted for Horse Riders
This course is designed to give you the theoretical knowledge needed to help someone injured in a riding accident whether on the road, or in the Countryside. We cover topics such as when to move someone and when to keep them still, what to look out for following a head injury and how to help if you suspect they may have broken a bone. The content also serves as an ideal annual refresher covering the full HSE syllabus plus head injuries, heart attack, asthma and much more. This course fulfils all the criteria for Appointed Person First Aid training, however a practical course is required in order to be a full First Aider.
The course consists of illustrated step by step directions, flow charts, diagrams, videos and a short test yourself section fully compatible with all computers and mobile devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and on completion you will be able to print your Certificate.
It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect illness or injury, you should always seek immediate professional medical advice.
The Author has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the course, however this course is merely a guide and the Author does not accept any liability or responsibility for any inaccuracies or for any mistreatment or misdiagnosis of any person, however caused.
