First Aid

22Jun09

Do you have any medical training? Have you ever done a CPR course? You would be amazed to realize how many people have never done any basic first aid or medical training and faced with a situation they have no idea what to do.

Even if you don’t have children it is so important to know the basics of first aid. If you are witness to an accident or someone collapses near you or falls over and so on, you need to know what to do. Sometimes your instincts will take over but sometimes they do not and the best thing you can do is just wait for the professionals. Well I believe and support the fact that each and every one of us needs to have basic first aid training.

For that reason I think that if you yourself get a basic training and enjoy it and feel that you have an aptitude for it, then you can continue and pass on the valuable information you have gathered to others. I am not talking about a simple band aid on a cut but proper training that teaches you CPR, teaches you what to do when a limb is caught under a fallen object and so on. You can run these courses from your home, on a weekly or biweekly basis. Charge a small amount so that people will come and if you need supplies, this is extra. You can always put together your own first aid kits and sell these as well.

This is not a one off job as every 6 months refresher courses should be offered as people forget and also there are new techniques and disciplines to learn. Read up on what you need and set yourself up as a first aider whereby you can teach others, earn some money and also be doing something good for society.
