During the course, students will cover these topics, both in theory and practice:

the introduction to first aid (the “3 steps” as a universal system for solving emergency situations: safety, consciousness, breathing)

life-threatening conditions and vital signs assessment (the approach to an unconscious person, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, severe bleeding)

etc.

About the objectives of the course, which include the effort to develop the competencies of participants for distance learning, the individual topics mentioned above will be indicated to develop these skills and competencies in students by focusing on the specifics of distance communication. Cross-sectionally, we will focus on the differences between distance and full-time communication in terms of providing and teaching first aid. Emphasis will be placed on getting acquainted with the possibilities of online resources and technologies. In the course, for example, participants will get acquainted with the mobile application Záchranka (its options and individual modules) and try out the implementation of a simulated call with a dispatcher.

Classes in winter semester 2023/2024 will start by their respective schedules. In case of mandatory online/distance learning the lessons will take place in GoogleClassroom (https://classroom.google.com/u/0/c/MTc2Njg3MzkxNDU4), where there will be an updated schedule of meetings, topics and homework.If physical attendance at the first lesson of the semester won't be possible, that lesson will be done as an online meeting. Enrolled students will receive e-mail with an invitation.
