The event meeting for the first Thursday in October will be a talk by Chris Mahon. Chris is a qualified paramedic and the focus of the talk is "What should you do in an emergency". It should be of interest to everyone but is of particular relevance to Rotarians.
There is a plethora of information out there if you want to read it (
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Accidents-and-first-aid/Pages/Introduction.aspx) but nothing sticks in the mind more than someone standing in front of you explaining things, and being able to answer any questions that you might have. Even if you have attended something similar to this in the past the suggested best practices are often amended and it helps to be up to date.
Please note that this is NOT a First Aid training course.
