QFES CPR

QFESCPR
The QFES CPR course (QFESCPR) has been developed to provide QFES personnel with the knowledge and skills to undertake and provide a CPR response to casualties at an incident.

Introduction:

In your capacity as a QFES volunteer or staff member, there may be occasions when you will be called upon to provide initial primary treatment and management to injured or sick members of the public or colleagues prior to the arrival of advanced medical response such as QAS.   

Knowledge of First Aid practices and procedures are invaluable for yourself and the community you serve. CPR has the potential to lessen the severity of a potentially life endangering event and can also aid in recovery timelines.  

This course is designed to equip you with the techniques, procedures, and skills to provide that assistance.
