PADI Emergency First Response (formerly Medic First-Aid)

The PADI Emergency First Response Course (EFR) is a one-day non-diving specific, general First Aid Course. Designed by the American Heart foundation, using guidelines previously published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and by the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, this programme aims to provide participants with the basic knowledge and practical skills required to assist an injured person.

It may be something simple such as a small cut, or something more serious such as a heart attack. Whatever the situation the EFR Programme will assist you in developing the necessary skills and confidence to provide first response care to the patient.

The EFR course content is sub-divided into the seven
skills of patient care:

• Primary assessment
• One rescuer C.P.R.
• Airway management (choking)
• Control of bleeding
• Shock management
• Illness assessment
• Injury assessment

The programme runs over approximately eight hours, split into two segments and is based around a stress free, practical hands on approach. You will watch a short video segment, followed by an Instructor demonstration of the skill.

You then practice either with a C.P.R. mannequin or on the other participants in the programme, under the supervision of your Instructor. We?ve had a lot of fun with this course with several people looking like an Egyptian mummy by the end of the day!
