HLTAID011 Provide first aid - Gold Coast, Brisbane, Townsville 

We are workplace training specialists, our courses have been developed and refined by paramedics. Course content is to the latest industry standards. A Mr Paramedic First Aid course is tailored to your workplace.

This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills required to administer First Aid to any victim of illness or injury, until the arrival of professional medical help. Our course coordinators are experienced paramedics. A Mr Paramedic First Aid course is not like any other First Aid course! It's been structured so each participant is taken through an emergency scenario where they treat the ‘victim’. After acting out the scenario, the theory behind each scenario is discussed. This is a fun, interactive learning experience. There is no pressure to know what to do, students are taught the required skills in a practical way.

With instruction and practical training in line with legal, workplace and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies, this first aid course teaches the skills and knowledge to recognise emergencies and provide immediate and effective first aid treatment to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury. 

The course covers assessing the casualty, providing safety, accessing emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as providing CPR and using a defibrillator, administering an autoinjector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, assisting someone choking, using appropriate immobilisation techniques for envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, managing casualties with non-life-threatening bleeding and shock.

Participants learn basic anatomy, physiology and the differences between adults, children and infants relating to CPR, the importance of the chain of survival, written and verbal reporting of incident details, reviewing incidents to improve own skills and response times, to recognise psychological impacts, and seeking help as required.
