🆘👶🏼 FIRST AID IN CHILDCARE
Working in a childcare environment can be challenging both physically and mentally.
First aid requirements in childcare contain specific sets of skills
Young pre-school children have very different needs to adults and even older children.
Most child care centres take children from 6 weeks old, and children this young have very specific needs, especially in an emergency.
Young children are much more at risk of accidents in a domestic environment. Although a childcare is obviously not a childs home, they can spend up to 5 full days a week in this environment.

🆘 Anaphylaxis In Schools
4-8% of children starting school have food allergies. This is a huge statistic and we still don’t really know what has caused this sudden rise in recent decades.
Most schools try to discourage parents putting nuts or peanuts in school lunch boxes but it is mostly not regulated, just a recommendation. It would almost be impossible to ensure every lunchbox was allergy free everyday.
However, a child can be allergic to anything and children do like to share food, so training for staff in anaphylaxis is essential.
Symptoms of mild to moderate allergic reaction:
🚩 Swelling of lips, face and eyes
🚩 Hives or welts
🚩 Tingling of the mouth
🚩 Abdominal pain or vomiting
Symptoms of severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
🚩 Difficult or noisy breathing
🚩 Swelling or tightness in the throat
🚩 Swelling of the tongue
🚩 Wheeze or persistent cough
🚩 Difficulty talking or hoarse voice
🚩 Persistent dizziness or collapse
🚩 Pale and floppy (young child)
If a child has any of the symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, they must be laid flat or at least sat down, then either have the adrenaline autoinjector administered immediately or call an ambulance.
A childs Red ASCIA anaphylaxis action plan tells you how to give an adrenaline autoinjector but you would also learn this in our first aid courses.

🤔 Why Does My Work Need Me To Do My First Aid Certificate?
Firstly because it’s mandatory in most workplaces but it also increases workplace safety awareness.
First aid courses can be confronting. 🩸 There are some pretty serious accidents and pictures of examples in most first aid courses.
This isn’t for everyone, but you need to be able to deal with an emergency should it arise, and know what it might look like.
When you take one of our first aid courses, you will feel ready to take on any incident that happens on your watch. You will gain confidence and realise that it doesnt have to be complicated. Most of the first aid techniques we teach are simple and easy to remember, because they have to be.
All of our courses are available either 100% face to face or 80% online & everything in between.

🆘. There are many different answers to this question, so we set out in the article to clarify how the accredited first aid courses are facilitated and how long each one takes, whether you attend face to face or complete some of the course online.
There are three main courses that are facilitated nationwide. There are many more available but these are the main ones.
The three courses are:
Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation HLTAID009
Provide First Aid HLTAID011
Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting HLTAID012
The Provide First Aid HLTAID011 also includes Provide basic emergency life support HLTAID010 and Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation HLTAID009
The Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting HLTAID012 includes Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation HLTAID009, Provide Basic Emergency Life Support HLTAID010 and Provide First Aid HLTAID011.
Commonly there are now options to complete some of the first aid courses online and attend a portion of the class as a face to face assessment.

There has been many occasions especially with young people that when one of their group has overdosed on drugs and they have not called for the paramedics because they thought that they would get into trouble because the police would also be called.
Paramedics do not notify the police unless their own life is in danger from bystanders… Paramedics also carry a range of medication that can assist the overdosed casualty to recover quickly.
At the end of this post, I have provided a link with a drug and alcohol chart first aid treatment that is especially designed for the younger person. Its a bit funky to appear to that age group. This chart is highlighting the fact that police are not routinely called when someone rings for the paramedics to attend.
It also has simple first aid instructions to help them whilst waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Its a vital message contained in the chart is to look after your mates and this is part of this is education. This can start in the home in a casual conversation around drugs and calling triple zero when someone overdoses. They must understand that the police are not involved unless paramedics have concern for their own safety…
It is important to know what to do with a drug overdose. Here are the following steps:
A. Stay clam and if unconscious and breathing, turn the casualty onto their side
B. Call triple zero and request the ambulance
C. If possible, try and determine what drug was taken eg alcohol
D. Continually observe the casualty and ensuring that they are still breathing adequately
When you are speaking to the triple zero operator, they will also provide you with further advice, so by staying as calm as you can, this will help listening and providing further first aid to your mate.
Drugs are always around everyone, and its so important to discuss the plan, especially with children as having a plan to seek help will save lives. Please share the chart and post with your friends as its such an important topic to educate our kids.

❤️🩹🤚🏼 CPR is a skill that anyone can learn. As we have seen on the news recently, a cardiac event or an accident where someone stops breathing, can happen to anyone, any time and anywhere.
One of the most common reasons to perform CPR would be a sudden cardiac arrest.
This is when there is a sudden loss of the electrical current in the heart. It stops the pumping action whic in turn stops the blood flow to all of the vital organs in the body.
