Basic First Aid Training UK (Updated 2023)

Building awareness of first aid

This video series is designed to build general awareness of first aid, on the basis that an emergency can happen when you least expect it. It introduces the subject rather than offering a complete training route.

What the description says

• It does not replace competency-based, practical training
• It does not qualify viewers to work as a first aider
• The Emergency First Aid at Work certificate also requires practical training and assessment

Using it well

Treat the videos as a foundation for thinking through emergencies, then follow up with supervised practice. The description points viewers to a separate provider if they want the certificate, and the videos cannot stand in for that assessment.
