REACT RIGHT
The Emergency First Response course (EFR) will get you more involved and participating in emergency medical situations.
Students on the EFR course learn essential skills and simple procedures to follow to quickly assess medical problems and offer emergency care.
Primary Care prepares you to deal with life-threatening medical emergencies, such as providing immediate aid to a victim who is not breathing, has no heartbeat, or may have spinal injury. You will learn how to administer CPR and take necessary action to ensure victims have every possible chance of survival until medical services arrive at the location.
Secondary Care prepares you for situations that are not life-threatening, dealing with instances where medical services are unavailable or may be delayed at the location. You will learn how to assess injuries and medical conditions, provide first aid, reduce pain, and prevent further injuries in common emergency care situations. Essential skills include bandaging and splinting.
Critical skills covered during the Emergency First Responder course are CPR, the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), and Oxygen Administration.
The EFR course is a prerequisite to the Rescue Diver course and all dive-professional level courses.
