The purpose of the skills programme is to build the capacity of a person to function as a Basic First Aid provider.
Basic First Aid providers respond to emergency situations to provide efficient and immediate basic medical care to ill and injured persons during emergencies.
They use a limited range of equipment and operate within common and uncommon situations providing a basic first aid care service that falls within a strictly regulated scope of work as defined by various regulatory requirements. Incumbents are also expected to continually remain updated on approved new practices and techniques.
