I think basic first aid should be a mandatory course in high school. ..(and should be a must for expectant parents!!)

Status: offline 		I am certified in first aid and cpr. It was a requirement since I'm a brownie leader.
I did tell the man that he needs to get cpr certified in case that breath play ever backfires. At least I'd have some chance...

Actually, to be pendantic, PLAY wouldn't be safer - the ill effects - if any, would be lessened if everyone was familiar with basic first aid.


.... and whoever Aileen happens to be with needs to know rescue breathing incase she chokes on the hamster and guinea pig bones.

I actually teach a range of first aid courses in schools around Belfast. The medical school sends students out to any local school that will have us. Basic first aid for 12 year olds, CPR for 15 year olds, and "teddy hospital" for primary school kids. Pretty much all the local schools here have signed up for it now, unfortunately there are only enough volunteers for Belfast, not the whole of NI.
