The International Journal of First Aid Education publishes research & new ideas to challenge & advance the knowledge & practices of first aid educators.
An excellent and thorough systematic review from @Cochrane_FA ๐. Now we need some longitudinal studies following #firstaid learners. Is anyone measuring behaviour change following routine first aid courses?
Happy #WorldFirstAidDay! ๐
This year's theme is climate change, a major threat to human health ๐
#firstaid training can help protect and save lives and help build resilient communities ๐ช

Have you checked out the https://t.co/K3lZClkfvh recently? We've got cool papers on EMS in Gaza, DIY manikins, a deception study in an art gallery, jellyfish sting treatment & much more. What better reading for a grey November day? #FirstAid#Bystander#CPR#OpenAccess#research
Knowledge & skills in #FirstAid are foundations for developing confidence and willingness to act in an #emergency. Without confidence & willingness, the skills & knowledge can mean nothing. Great work @StreetDoctors@bumbamartin
By the end of the project, participants had increased:
โค๏ธ knowledge in emergency first aid by 125.3%
๐ค confidence in delivering emergency first aid by 200.6%
โค๏ธwillingness to help in an emergency by 98.6%
This View from the Field from the occupied Palestinian Territories highlights the extreme challenges of providing #FirstAid & #EMS in #conflict-affected areas, offering important lessons for first aid #educators & practitioners worldwide. https://t.co/TQaVAZRT8z @PalestineRCS
Less than one in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. By learning CPR and using a defib, you're giving someone their best chance of survival.
