First Aid Course

LEFS conducted a First Aid course on Friday January 24. Twelve club and two community participants completed sessions on CPR and the Defibrillator, as well as learning the treatments for many different ailments.

Thank you to Steven Hicks, First Aid Provider, for conducting the course and Anne Pinke, Treasurer of the Committee for Local Ambulance, for her assistance. Anyone passing through Clifton, Steven and his partner run Dusty’s Café.

Emergency App.

This App is very easy to download and may save someone’s life. It provides emergency services with your location. You have the choice of 3 services – Police, SES and 000.

The operator will ask you for the 3 words at the bottom of the screen under “My Location”. They can pinpoint you to a 3m² area.

First Aid Snake Bite Kit

The club has purchased Outdoor & Snake Bite Kits that will be located next to the current First Aid Kits.

Snake Bite Bandage and hints

Stretch the bandage to form squares to get the correct pressure.

If you have a pen, mark the location of the bite on skin before you commence bandaging.

For the procedure for snake bites please refer to one of the current First Aid Books in the Lounge.
