We look at common sporting injuries, such as, dental injuries, cramps and blisters, and more serious injuries to the chest and abdomen, Finally, you will learn about the importance of hydration and the different products available.

This section covers illnesses, starting with the signs and symptoms of different illnesses, allergies, medications, and pre-existing conditions a casualty may have. You will learn how to recognise a stroke, allergic reactions, and anaphylaxis and the appropriate action to take. Diabetes and asthma can be common problems and we will look at how they may become a medical emergency and why early treatment is important, including the use of asthma inhalers, spacers, and Accuhaler.
