Earn a diploma in first aid with this free online course that explains how to provide emergency medical assistance. The main objective of first aid is to contain any injuries that occur during a medical emergency or accident. First aid is thus not the preserve of medical staff but a critical skill for anyone, particularly parents and caregivers. This diploma course provides a set of skills you can use to handle various emergency situations. We also describe what every first aid kit should contain and discuss relevant environmental and medical policies.
