This course is suitable for people who wish to
Learn basic first aid
Act as the Appointed Person in the workplace
Support a qualified First Aider
Not all businesses need to have formally trained and certified first aiders. For some small businesses (e.g. those with a low risk working environment, employing less than 50 people), an assessment of First Aid needs may identify that a First Aider (as defined in the HSE Regulations) is not necessary. In this case, the minimum requirement of an employer is to appoint a person to take charge of first aid arrangements.
Responsibilities of Appointed Persons
Taking charge when someone is injured or ill, including calling an ambulance if required;
Looking after the first aid equipment, e.g. re-stocking the first aid box.
Course content includes:
An overview of current regulations
First Aid priorities
Managing an incident
Assessment of the casualty
Resuscitation / CPR
Choking
Control of bleeding
Treatment of shock
Administering first aid to a casualty who is unconscious or in seizure
Common workplace injuries
Certification as an Appointed Person
Candidates are assessed throughout the course and those who meet the required standard will receive an Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years. Important note: All candidates must be physically able to carry out the procedures required for certification.

A quick thought of mine was to see if any lifers wanted to have a look at the courses we offer, is a very big project so its not exactly desperate.... but we will see if this is allowed
NHS paid for it when i worked part time in a hospital for a bit, as everyone had to have the basic emergency first aid training to work there.
Regarding whether u can take ur own sandwiches, i dont see why not and there is a canteen area where u can eat. although i believe the hot food is in the price, i will confirm at a later date :-)
unsure of whether any fit birds shag lol cant blame u trying, also courses actually start in a couple of weeks so we will see
Ah, bit like my company.... "Come to a CPR day, learn new skills and save lives and better than a Christmas party."
I think they are two different courses. The FAW course that you did (although I think that has now changed to 3 days or is about to)is the main one, but the emergency one is also an option and is quicker/cheaper but less involved.
Good, glad to hear it! The four day one is way too dragged out. Could easily be done in three days, maybe even two. Would be a good move if there's a one day course - more people learning CPR would be excellent...
the short 1 day course will not make your company compliant with HnS regs as far as I aware.
The memories of me lying on top with her trying to throw me off still gives me a massive hard on to this day...
Just goes to show that there is a dark side to everything.
(Some silly person made me Health & Safety officer here a few years back..)
i think that depends on the size. I only do a one day course because there are only 5 people in the office.
you see that is why they shdnt a made me do it....
