First Aid emergencies happen when
you don’t expect them. .jpg)
They also happen where
you don’t expect them - in your home or at play.
Every day people are injured in their home. Someone
slips down a set of stairs, falls off a ladder, chokes
on a piece of food at the dinner table. Every day,
people also experience medical emergencies at home. Did you know most heart attacks occur in the home?
You’ll find St. John Ambulance has First Aid courses that
can prepare you for the unexpected First Aid emergencies
in the home or at play.
