About this title

From the Author

The authors Helen and Fran wanted an accurate, up-to-date manual to use for their own training courses, which was relevant and simple to use in the real world. They decided to get together and write their own. This book will teach you what you need to know, but we would still recommend attending a First Aid training course.
