What is EFR?

Emergency First Response is an innovative CPR/first aid program split into two parts:

1. Primary Care (CPR)

Emergency First Response Primary Care (CPR) teaches you how to deal with emergencies that are immediately life threatening. You will focus on primary care through a combination of knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice to make sure you have the knowledge, understanding and confidence to use your skills. Here are the Primary Care (CPR) skills:

• Scene Assessment
• Barrier Use
• Primary Assessment
• Rescue Breathing
• Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
• Serious bleeding management
• Shock management
• Spinal injury management

2. Secondary Care (first aid)

Secondary Care (first aid) covers injuries or illnesses that are not immediately life threatening or when local EMS is unavailable or delayed. You focus on secondary assessment and first aid through knowledge development, skill development and realistic scenario practice. The Secondary Care (first aid) skills are:

• Injury Assessment
• Illness Assessment
• Bandaging
• Splinting for Dislocations and Fractures

All of the skills which you'll learn could be useful today, in any walk of life, not just in diving!

How Much Will It Cost?

Our Emergency First Response courses cost just £75.00. This includes all that you will need for the course.

Having the right training will greatly increase you chances of potentially saving someone’s life. Of course, you will want to make sure that your training is up to date so the Emergency First Response (EFR) is a programme developed with the help of many of the leading authorities in first aid from around the world.
