You never know when someone will need your help, but you can choose to be prepared for an unforeseeable situation. We will spend a whole day exploring first aid with you. Knowing about first aid is one thing, but practical ability is quite another. Sophie Van Antwerpen from Help Snel will teach you the tricks of the trade. We will immerse you in the finer points of skin injuries, sprains, broken bones, choking, strokes, epilepsy, bandaging, hyperventilation, heart problems and resuscitation.
We consider how to tackle a situation, the steps we take and how to get help from elsewhere. It will be a very practical session. You will practice on dolls, install useful apps and have plenty of opportunities to ask specific questions.
