Welcome to a new series called “First Aid Fridays”. This is a series inspired by my voluntary work as an Event First Aider with the British Red Cross and all articles published are written in accordance with the ‘DK First Aid Manual Revised 9th Edition’ (which is authorised by the UK’s largest first aid providers). In this series I have decided to write a short article each week explaining the authorised procedures to follow in order to administer first aid to various injuries – the sole purpose of this series is to educate the readers with knowledge to apply in order to care for a casualty and possibly even save lives.
