The First Aid and 6 hours verifiable CPD for musculoskeletal therapists course
consists of illustrated step by step directions, flow charts, diagrams, videos
and short test yourself sections fully compatible with all computers and mobile
devices. You will be able to stop and start as often as you like and on
completion you will be able to print your certificate. This course covers the
full Emergency First Aid at Work syllabus, including CPR and the recovery
position. Plus the addition of heart attack, stroke, anaphylaxis, asthma and
many more relevant topics, tailored to the needs of massage, manual and
musculoskeletal therapists. It also covers baby and child CPR, Choking and
Recovery position. Equivalent to 6 hours of verifiable CPD.
This course has been specifically designed for musculoskeletal therapists to
equip you with vital skills and confidence to help an adult or child
experiencing a medical emergency in your clinic, or in the community. This
training does not seek to replace a practical first aid course. This course is
an excellent first aid training package for people to gain invaluable knowledge
at their own time and pace and a great first aid training package for those with
English as a second language to prepare themselves to pass a practical first aid
course. The content also serves as an ideal annual refresher covering the full
HSE syllabus plus head injuries, heart attack, asthma and much more.
This course fulfils all the criteria for Appointed Person first aid training,
however a practical course is required in order to be a full First Aider.
It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you
with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in
unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect serious illness or injury,
you should always seek immediate professional medical advice.
The author has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information
