The Bridgewater Aldgate Community Support Hub (BACSH) Committee is hosting an informative and practical session, which focuses on what to do in the first 5 minutes of a medical emergency. The session will be delivered by Chris Cotton, a senior paramedic and Adelaide Hills local. Please see the attached flyer for details and further information below:
Chris is a registered paramedic with considerable experience in attending emergency medical cases. Chris will cover, in an informal conversational style, the initial approach to a range of common medical emergencies - including early recognition and actions people can take to reduce impacts and save lives.
The presentation is deliberately interactive, and whilst Chris says it is not designed to replace a first aid course, it will cover some simple and effective strategies on a broad range of emergencies people may encounter.
The presentation does have some confronting themes, and this content will be covered with care and respect. This session will be a great opportunity to build confidence and preparedness in responding to potential situations that may occur.
