First Aid (FA) is an essential thing in our daily life. You don’t need to be a doctor to learn First Aid, neither you are going to be a doctor after learning FA. From small cuts to big accident you can apply your FA skills in almost everywhere. The main point to First Aid is to help the injured person until a doctor arrives or until we take a casualty to a doctor or hospital.

British Red Cross has done a great job by publishing the FA Manual, which has a lot updated & essential information for First Aiders worldwide. There are a lot Red Cross / Red Crescent societies who are following British Red Cross’s First Aid manual. Now, the amazing thing they have done is beside the paperback manual they have created two apps for the FA enthusiasts. First Aid by British Red Cross & Baby and Child First Aid are the two apps ready for you to download from the Play Store. Available for almost on all Android devices.

The apps comes with nice step-by-step instructions, video and animated pictures to help you learn properly. Under every section there are questions and answers about the specific section. There are different related Q&A for each topic. At the bottom of that there is “Test yourself” button to test what you have learned.

What can I learn from this app?

In the Learn section there are 18 things you can learn to help a casualty. When you click on any of the topics there are descriptions and steps what you need to follow. These topics are covered in this app: Allergies / anaphylaxis, Asthma attack, Bleeding, Broken bone, Burns, Choking, Diabetic emergency, Distress, Head injury, Heart Attack, Hypothermia, Meningitis, Poisoning / harmful substances, Seizure / epilepsy, Strains and sprains, Stroke, Unconscious breathing & Unconscious not breathing.
