To bring the training to life, a number of scenario based videos have been added, that show the first aider arriving at the scene, administering first aid and providing casualty care.

Our easy to navigate DVD covers first aid in the workplace or at home with your family. It is designed to support, but not replace any formal training. It is ideal for enhancing new skills or providing a revision of your existing skills.

• What is the injury or condition
• Signs and symptoms to help you make a correct diagnosis
• The Recommended treatment to be given
• A useful summary
