... I actually passed my St Johns Ambulance First Aid course!!!! Wooooooo Woooooooo!
Day 4 started with loads of practical exercises, CPR, bandages, slings etc! Then assessment in the afternoon!
There were 2 assessors with rooms with an "injury" casualty, and 2 assessors running rooms for unconcious breathing/ unconcious not breathing casualties. I was the last one in, so had plenty of time to work myself into a nice nervous/ stressed condition!
I was great at the CPR/ placing in the recovery position, not so great at the slings though! Still, it was "fit for purpose", so was acceptable! Nearly forgot to get someone to phone for an ambulance [don't panic, it was only a fracture!], but remembered in time!
Obviously I need to practise some of the "bleeds" and "fractures" procedures, so if anyone wants to volunteer to let me practise bandaging them up like a mummy......
