Ratings and reviews

It doesn't tell you how to correctly seek medical advice. This would force people to call 999 for all medical concerns. First Aid for unconscious and not breathing adult also doesn't tell you why not to do any breaths. This doesn't feel at all aligned with what we learned from the course we attended with British Red Cross instructors, as we checked breathing, call for help and get someone to call 999, do compressions and give breaths until help arrives. It also doesn't show the recovery position

Excellent learning and tuition app. Even as a qualified first aider this app is invaluable at keeping me up to speed on all the latest practices and procedures.

Very useful, up to date advice. Keep topping up by reading the information and taking the short quizzes.
