YOUR ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO FIRST AID

From cuts and bruises to saving lives, here are the skills to making your home or office a safer place

AKNOWLEDGE of First Aid can mean the difference between life and death. At St John Ambulance Ireland, there’s over 115 years of experience in providing First Aid cover at public and private events, ensuring that no one suffers unnecessarily.

They have also trained hundreds of thousands of people in First Aid skills, and now partner up with the Irish Daily Mail to bring you this important First Aid supplement — read it and then keep it as a reference.

When the emergency happens, stay safe and do something to help, rather than watch the person suffer.

It is important to remember also that you are more likely to use these skills on a loved one, rather than a stranger.

Finally, St John Ambulance Ireland also encourages every reader to attend a First Aid course. For more information on their courses please contact: training@stjohn.ie or visit www.stjohn.ie.
