South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS

improve their emergency first aid skills.

On completion, successful attendees will

training manual.

SECAmb’s Volunteer Operations Manager, Emma Ray, said: “We’re
delighted to be able to offer an accredited Emergency First Aid
Course for the general public. The course costs £90 instead of
the usual £105 and this includes a certificate that is valid for a
period of three years. The job of our highly experienced and
professional trainers is to ensure that they share their skills and
knowledge with the people they are training so that their expertise
can be transferred to other people helping our wider
community.”
