First Aid for Spinal Fracture in Leisure Centres

A medical emergency involving someone with a fractured spine can develop quickly, making current first aid knowledge valuable for any responsible team. This subject aligns closely with the practical skills taught on ABC Training Services’ Sports Injury First Aid Course course for people who may need to act in an emergency. The Sports Injury First Aid Course covers first aid equipment, emergency action plans, cardiac arrest, unconscious casualties, bleeding, shock, injuries to bones, muscles and joints, head injuries, AED use and casualty transportation. Training is designed to build practical confidence so learners can assess the situation, give appropriate first aid and support a casualty until further help takes over.
