First Aid at Work (FAW) refresher training is designed to refresh and update the knowledge and skills of individuals who have previously completed the full FAW course.  This training is essential for maintaining competency and ensuring that first aiders are up to date with the latest techniques and protocols.  Here are some key points to consider regarding FAW refresher training:

Purpose: FAW refresher training aims to reinforce the knowledge and skills acquired during the initial FAW course.  It provides an opportunity to review and update first aid procedures, assess competency, and address any changes in regulations or guidelines.

Timeframe: FAW refresher training is typically annually to keep your qualification up to date.

Content: The refresher training covers essential topics related to first aid, including assessing the situation, dealing with emergencies, CPR, controlling bleeding, managing fractures, sprains, and strains, recognising and treating illnesses, and using first aid equipment effectively.  It also includes updates on new techniques, protocols, or guidelines.
