SUMMARY:World First Aid Day
DESCRIPTION:World First Aid Day is a global observance held on the second Saturday in September. It was instituted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in 2000 and has been celebrated each year ever since. \nThe term “first aid” refers to the help available to anyone with a sudden injury or illness. Its main purpose is to preserve life and prevent exacerbation of the condition. This is not always done by medical staff. In emergency situations\, ordinary people often have to provide first aid to save someone’s life. First aid does not require prior knowledge and can be improvised. However\, if a first aid person does not know what to do\, they may hurt themselves rather than help. This is why the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies encourages everyone to receive basic first aid training or at least educate themselves using all available reliable sources. \nWorld First Aid Day aims to raise awareness of how first aid can prevent injuries and save lives in crises and everyday situations\, as well as enhance access to first aid. The events and activities on this day focus on first aid training. Each year\, a new general theme for the day is chosen\, and participants are encouraged to plan events around the current year’s theme. \nRecent polling by the Canadian Red Cross shows that nearly 40 per cent of Canadians say they have been in an emergency situation where they have had to perform first aid; however\, only 18 per cent are currently certified. so ensure you have the skills needed to save lives when an emergency happens. \nInfo about first aid courses: \nCanadian Health Care Provider Training Institute \nFirst Aid 4U \n
