Post by preppingsu »

DK 9th Edition First Aid manuel, written and authorised by St John Ambulance, St Andrews Ambulance Association and British Red Cross.

RRP £12.99, amazon £6.83.

Chapters:
Becoming a first aider
managing an incident
assessing a casualty
the unconsciuos casualty
respiratory problems
wounds and circulation
bone, joint and muscle injuries
nervous system problems
effects of heat and cold
foreign objects, poisoning, bites and stings
medical problems (eg from headache to childbirth)
techniques and equipment
emergency first aid (a quick check guide)

All chapters nicely laid out with recognition, your aims and step-by-step processes. Clear photographs alongside. Also provides links to other conditions (eg on sprains section there is a link to cold compresses and fractures)

Obviously the book refers to the fact that further help, 999 or A&E, would be required in the most serious cases (if available!!!!!!!)
I think this will be a well thumbed resource :)
