Today, Year 5 was visited by Panda Paramedic, a scheme to help introduce first aid training to children and normalise the use of potentially life saving interventions. The class had the opportunity to practise placing each other in the recovery position, a technique for individuals who are unconscious but breathing. Then we used first aid dolls to develop our chest compressions, ensuring they are at the correct speed and depth. We finished by applying the pads of a defibrillator and discussing where the nearest defibrillators are.
