First Aid Guides
There are a few first aid guides on the web. Though if you're serious, it would be well worth having a paper book with a strong cover you can chuck in your bag. The web is unlikely to be available when you need to know how to do first aid. And even a book should only really be used for an occasional reference. Go on a course and learn it properly.
Having said that , here are some links to online guides. First the general first aid guides.
- St John Ambulance First Aid Guide
- Basic First Aid by British Red Cross
- Online First Aid Guide
- Mayo Clinic First Aid Guide
And the more specific action medic guides.
- Black Cross First Aid Info
