Before the Christmas break I attended the Hong Kong St Johns Ambulance basic first aid course. It was a very intensive course that lasted 4 full days in its headquarters in Mid Levels, Hong Kong island. The course was in English and it was aimed at expats and non speakers of cantonese. I was very impressed with the content and delivery of the course.
The course included CPR, bandaging, how to deal with certain medical conditions such as strokes and heart attacks. In particular it dealt with issues that are likely to happen in Hong Kong such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion and snake bites.
After the course we had an exam which included CPR, bandaging and also a written exam.
