Book a date| Training programme | Topic | What will you learn? | Format | Time |
| INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY | 1. BLS: you will learn the basic rules of helping a casualty and the step-by-step approach at the scene 2. First aid priorities: you will learn to recognise priority threats and find out how to stay safe during a rescue 3. Legal aspects of first aid: we explain how the law protects people who give first aid and when you are entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred during a rescue – and, on the other hand, what the liability is for failing to help a casualty in need 4. Coordinating a rescue: we show you how to effectively get bystanders involved – explaining the psychological aspects of giving first aid 5. Assessing the casualty: we show you how to examine a casualty and assess their vital functions and level of consciousness. You will learn the correct approach to a conscious and an unconscious casualty, how to open the airway and how to check breathing | Lecture + case study | 60 min | |
| MASSIVE BLEEDING | 1. Dedicated dressings: we explain how to use tourniquets and various types of individual dressings 2. Exercises: in simulated scenarios you will learn to control massive bleeding quickly and effectively 3. Improvised care: You will learn to improvise in an emergency. We explain what to do when you do not have dedicated dressings at hand | Practical workshops | 60 min | |
| CPR WITH AN AED | 1. Causes of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA): we explain the most common causes of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, how much time the casualty has in such a situation and how important bystanders are in the so-called chain of survival. 2. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) practice: through intensive practice you will learn to perform CPR correctly – both on your own and as part of a team. Be ready for real physical effort – we practise CPR in different variants, using training manikins that reflect different casualty body types 3. Using an AED during a rescue: you will learn to use an Automated External Defibrillator correctly during simulated rescues. You will practise on the most popular, and therefore most commonly available, types of devices. You will also find out where AEDs can be found in public spaces. | Practical workshops | 90-120 min | |
| INJURY CARE | 1. Trauma casualty: you will learn how to help correctly with the most common injuries, minimising pain and the risk of complications 2. Exercises and simulations: you will learn to dress limb fractures, sprains and dislocations, bleeding, burns, stab and gunshot wounds, lacerations, chest and abdominal wounds. You will learn techniques for stabilising injuries – especially of the spine – and what to do in the case of chemical, thermal and electrical injuries 3. Dedicated dressings and improvisation: you will learn to use dressings designed for specific injuries, and also how to cope when specialist equipment is not available | Practical workshops | 90-120 min | |
| FIRST AID IN MEDICAL EMERGENCIES | 1. Heart attack and stroke: statistically the most common “killers” – we will teach you to recognise their symptoms and respond correctly 2. Choking: during the exercises you will learn to clear a casualty's airway both with dedicated techniques and with the LifeVac device, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the rescue when a foreign body is stuck in the airway 3. Other emergencies: You will learn what to do in the event of a severe allergic reaction, a seizure, fainting, feeling faint, shortness of breath, diabetic problems and other emergencies. Along the way we will dispel the most common myths, which lead to risky behaviour in these situations – in our classes you will only learn procedures in line with the current recommendations of the European Resuscitation Council | Practical workshops | 60 min | |
| RECOVERY POSITION | 1. When to use it: you will learn when a casualty should be placed in the recovery position, how to do it safely and how to cope when there is a big difference in weight and build between you and the casualty 2. Exercises: you will learn to place a casualty in the recovery position regardless of the position they were in | Practical workshops | 30 min | |
| A FIRST AID KIT READY FOR ACTION | 1. Quality, not quantity: we use an example to explain the difference between a standard “supermarket” first aid kit and a practical emergency kit 2. Dedicated kits: we present the recommended contents of a home, car and travel first aid kit 3. Your own emergency kit: we will advise you how to put together a first aid kit wisely, so that it is a reliable support in any situation. If you like, you can equip yourself straight away with proven equipment that you will learn to use during the course – our Participants get special discounts on products available in the Ratowacze Shop and we always bring a few sets of the dressings we recommend most | Practical workshops | 30 min | |
