ABOUT MY COURSES
Emergency First Response courses combine adult, child and infant CPR and first aid skills. They can be taught together, as stand alone course or in any combination. I can customize my course delivery to meet your timing and training needs.
Courses follow ECC Guidelines 2005 for cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and the emergency cardiovascular care standards set by the Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)
These courses make learning easy by providing a non stressful environment in which participants practice and apply emergency care skills.
PRIMARY CARE (CPR) COURSE. This course teaches you to respond to life-threatening emergencies, and gives you confidence in your ability to provide care when emergency situations arise.
Some of the skills you’ll learn in this class include scene safety assessment, communicable disease protection, CPR, obstructed airway, serious bleeding, shock, and spinal injury management
SECONDARY CARE (FIRST AID) COURSE. This course covers injuries or illnesses that are not immediately life -threatening. In this course you’ll learn injury assessment, illness assessment, bandaging and splinting.
CARE FOR CHILDREN . This course is an innovated CPR and first aid training course that teaches you how to provide emergency care for injured or ill infants and children. You’ll learn the types of medical emergencies children face and how they differ from adult conditions. The course also addresses the emotional aspects of caring for children, secondary care for children and preventing common injuries and illnesses in children.
This course includes both CPR and first aid skills. The primary care portion of the course prepares you to render aid to an infant or child with life-threatening emergenies such as choking or cardiac arrest. Secondary care focuses on developing secondary patient care skills and building your confidence to give first aid to an infant or child in need. The care for children course content is based on guidelines from the Pediatric Working Group of ILCOR.

Care for Children Courses.
Someone cuts a finger in the kitchen. At the gym, an older gentleman collapes from a heart attack. During a sporting event, a young boy faints from standing too long. Two automobiles collide, seriously injuring the occupants. A youngster floats motionless, face down in a swimming pool. A diner at the next table chokes on food, unable to breath.
It happens everyday. Some of these people just need a helping hand while others will die or suffer serious permanent injury if not immediately attended to.
If you are there at any of these scenes you can step forward and help. You can save or restore a patient’s life. You can reduce a patient’s recovery time. Either in hospital or at home. You can make a difference between a patient having a tempory or a lifelong disability.

Care for Children Course
If you interact regularly with children, you know that accidents happen.
Fortunately, most often these incidents are insignificant, resulting
in simple scrapes and bruises. Children and parents generally accept
that minor injuries and illnesses are part of growing up. However, there
are times when children suffer from significant medical problems. Automobile
accidents, serious falls, choking, serious bleeding, near drowning, poisoning
and allergic reactions can be very frightening and devastating for children,
parents and rescuers alike.
By becoming an Emergency Responder and learning how to handle situations
involving injured or ill children, you are empowered to make a difference.
You can’t control all the variables, but you can offer assistance
that may improve a child’s chance of a positive recovery. If you
are willing to jump in and help, you become an important link between the
problem’s onset and the arrival of professional medical personnel.
Again you can’t guarantee the final outcome, but you’ll know
that you did all that could be done.
