Importance Of First Aid Training In Schools

School going kids are naturally prone to small accidents due to slips and falls. The accidents can be in the form of minor scrapes, fractures, wounds or health issues that require immediate attention. Children with first aid training are capable of handling medical emergencies with ease and confidence.

First aid training comprises of various life-saving techniques which can be used in case of a medical eventuality that requires immediate action. It equips students with knowledge, training and tools to help themselves and others in case of health issues like nose bleeding, cut or wound etc. Students are taught vital life skills such as administering first aid treatments, talking to a person in need of help, the amount of pressure to apply on wounds, treating scrapes, burns etc.

Imparting first-aid skills to students has the following major benefits:
  • It Is Lifesaving: Having some knowledge of first aid can be very helpful in saving a person in need of immediate help. A well-trained person knows how to take charge of the situation without panicking. Intervention by a trained person before professional medical aid arrives can prevent the person’s condition getting worse.
  • Leadership Skills: Being trained to give first aid to a person in need gives one the confidence to take complete charge of a medical emergency and dictate the right course of action to be followed. Such leadership skills are also helpful in day to day circumstances. They add to one’s confidence.
  • Encourages Communication And Teamwork: First aid skills help children learn valuable life skills related to working effectively in a team. Children learn how to communicate details of an emergency, how to ask for something, listen to what others have to say and put across what they feel if an accident happens.
  • Relieves Pain: First aid knowledge helps relieve pain in cases where emergency medical intervention is not needed.
  • Prevents Further Deterioration: First aid can be very helpful in preventing a situation from becoming worse than it already is. With first aid there is scope for temporary treatment till professional help arrives.
