LSS Standard First Aid with CPR C and Anaphylaxis Rescuer

Standard First Aid with CPR C: provides comprehensive training covering all aspects of first aid and CPR. Standard First Aid incorporates all the content of Emergency First Aid. Therefore, it is not necessary to take any other course as a pre-requisite. This course is designed for those who require a more in-depth understanding of first aid including: legal implications of first aid treatment, spinal injuries, heat or cold injuries, bone and joint injuries, abdominal and chest injuries, burns, and medical emergencies. CPR-C covers all aspects of CPR skills and theory for adults, children, and infants. Standard First Aid is required as a prerequisite for National Lifeguard (NLS).

Anaphylaxis Rescuer: Anaphylaxis awareness has grown significantly in school boards, municipal recreation centres, camps, day care centres and the general public. With proper training, people can learn how to use an auto-injector with confidence. The recognition and first aid treatment for anaphylaxis are covered, along with prevention and risk management. Anaphylaxis Rescuer certification is included with Standard First Aid courses at Brock.
