Provide Advanced First Aid & Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy
Introduction:
The Provide Advanced First Aid and Provide Advanced Resuscitation and Oxygen Therapy course is designed for personnel who may be required to provide an advanced level of first aid and resuscitation response during a workplace or community emergency.
The course is particularly relevant for designated first aiders and personnel working in emergency response, construction, mining, industrial and other hazardous work environments where a higher level of first aid capability may be required.
Participants will develop the skills and knowledge to assess and manage complex first aid situations, coordinate a first aid response and provide advanced resuscitation using specialised equipment. This includes the safe use of oxygen therapy equipment and automated external defibrillators in accordance with current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines.
