Yes, but unfortunately, as was said in the original post by Lenster, these are the current guidelines, these things change all the time, like the recovery position, or CPR.  If everyone was taught early in life then every year the kids would be learning something different.

But knowing somthing is better than nothing with this stuff the basics are still the same, so they change the recovery position or roll technique every bleeding year but the "old" ones still work.

I'm currently trying to get local schools to let St. John in to teach exactly what were on about.They actually have a competion for schools to enter to encourage learning first/basic aid.

Sharpshooter:
Everyone where i work (Power station) gets first aid training now. Only the basics, but ive used it already. Saved an old guy at work. He severed his finger, and passed out from shock. Luckily for him, he fell onto me.  :?

Agreed

Got me think though. Will have a word with the head of "Life Skills" (thats what the kids who wont get a GCSE do) and see if something can be done. If they can pass a basic first aider test it instantly makes them more employable.
