Who is it for?

Those who are nominated to carry out rudimentary first aid in emergency situations, until fully-qualified First Aider's or medical staff arrive on the scene. The HSE state that organisations of all sizes should have at least one appointed person available at all times during working hours.

What is it about?

Appointed persons are often of vital importance in limiting the harmful effects of illness and injury to an individual in the important minutes before fully qualified First Aiders or ambulance personnel arrive on the scene.  Quite simply, the decisions they make and actions they take can save lives.

This course is suited for smaller workplaces where an appointed person is required to assume charge in the event of illness or accident.  It is also useful for larger organisations, where qualified First Aider's can benefit from additional support from Appointed Persons.
