The DAN First Aid course trains you to provide first aid to injured people involved in situations that do not directly threaten their lives. The programme includes assessment and management of injuries and illnesses. The student will learn how to apply techniques to prevent the worsening of an injury, how to assess a person's state of health and how to activate the Emergency Medical Service.
The First Aid course teaches how to operate in absolute safety with full protection of the rescuer's health, who will learn how to correctly use different Individual Protection Devices (PPE).
