Together with others, seven staff of DSS attended a First Aid Course conducted by Sister Robyn Armstrong from Choice Care Training on 12 June.
We arrived knowing very little, for instance how to put a plaster on a sore knee, and how to give a little TLC. However, at the end of the 2 day course, we knew how to save a life through CPR. We learned how to assess injuries and take control of situations. We had practice handling head & spinal injuries on willing volunteers.

We ended the course by writing a test after which we received our certificates for Basic Life Support including CPR and Level 1 First Aid.
