After extensive research and consultation with the disability sector, this course was originally established by co-founders Joel Robinson (Ambulance Attendant) and Leanne Innes of Disability First Aid (Pty Ltd). Now in partnership with Essential Skills Training, this course has been tailored to extend on traditional first aid training, providing critical skills in the following key areas:
- CPR in a bed;
- Seizures in a wheelchair;
- Choking whilst in a wheelchair or bed;
- Implementing personal evacuation plans;
- Pressure sores and infection recognition;
- Suicide recognition in a disability setting.
