Up and Coming News - Special Report

How good is your first aid knowledge? Would you know what to do if someone fell or started to choke on their mid-race jelly baby? The last Saturday in September saw EGRC run leaders, Men’s Captain Graham, race director Ash and Park run RD Adrian completing a 4 hour British Red Cross first aid course so that we are better placed to look after our runners.

We covered a variety of the most common situations people need to know how to deal with and got hands on practising our CPR, helping a choking casualty and putting people into the recovery position. All good knowledge to have although we hope not to have to use it! Thanks to all who gave up their Saturdays to attend this workshop.

The British Red Cross have a handy app that will take you through first aid situations for adults and children which you can download for free.
