Annotation
First Aid teaches basic techniques and approach used in First Aid. That includes basic CPR according to latest guidelines. The course involves 6 lectures that give the necessary pre-learning background followed by 14 subsequent practical seminars. Mini – Simulations and Case-Based learning will be the main teaching forms. The 13th seminar is dedicated to revision of difficult topics or as a substitute for cancelled ones. The 14th seminar is for testing the practical approach and gained skills. Credits will be given.
There is a necessary pre- learning to be fulfilled in order to be able to follow the seminars.
All students will be actively involved in simulations. There is a possibility for getting dirty clothes. Students are advised to wear a propriate outfits for the classes.
