Emergency First Response
This is a DSAT first aid and CPR programme which complies with the latest international protocols. EFR is internationally recognised and students may attend either Primary Care, Secondary Care phases or both. It is a great course and a lot of fun. We run the course to compliment our PADI Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor & Instructor courses
LEARN THE SIGNS OF A HEART ATTACK
Warning signs vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort.
When having a heart attack you may experience pain, pressure, heaviness or tightness in one or more parts of your upper body, in combination with other symptoms. People have described feeling generally unwell or ‘not quite right’.
Heart attack symptoms vary. They are not always sudden or severe. Many start slowly with only mild pain or discomfort. Some people experience one symptom, while others experience a combination. But the one thing all heart attacks have in common is that the sooner you receive treatment, the less damage will be done.
If you experience the warning signs of a heart attack for 10 minutes, if they are severe or get progressively worse, call 111 immediately and ask for an ambulance.
