Teaching First Aid
Here are some teaching tips to help you pass the first aid knowledge you have learned to others.
We suggest you teach no more than 12 students at one time.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow an American psychologist famously wrote a paper in 1943 on the "Theory of Human Motivation".
He stressed the importance of focusing on the positive qualities in people.
We can use this theory while teaching which will help us create confident first aiders

Psychological
Human Needs
SELF ACTUALISATIONWe use language that promotes self respect, status, recognition & high self esteem for our students. We create a moral code through our aim to teach life saving skills to others.
ESTEEMConfidence, respect. We act professionally & respect our students & other organisations . We aim to build confidence in our students
LOVE/BELONGING/SOCIAL NEEDSWe include ALL students of all abilities, asking those in the class who have the most experience to help those who may need more help. We make sure ALL students have hands on practice.
6
Human Needs
SAFETY NEEDSWe decide where the students will meet in the event of an emergency, taking our registration form so we can find out who is missing.
PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDSAt the start of our courses we inform students when they can have a break to be able to eat & drink.
You may wish to ask students to bring food & water to the course.
7
Importance of Language
MotivationUse motivating language such as “you CAN do this”. Give praise to encourage students such as “that was VERY good. If you did it faster next time that would be excellent”.

Impression
AppearanceA clean & smart appearance gives the impression of a professional instructor.

Practical Session

In a group of 12Choose x4 students as casualty's with an arm wound. Choose 4 students as first aiders who will treat the casualty at the same time. Watch each one and give feedback that every student can hear and see.Choose 4 students as bystanders. Ask the bystanders what the casualty’s did that was good & what could be improved.
Keep rotating so all first aiders get to treat a wound.

Problem Solving
13
Saying something wrongIf you say something wrong, acknowledge it, they may write it down.
Questions you haven’t taughtIf they ask a question about something you have not taught them yet Tell them they are going to learn that in the next part of the lesson. This helps you keep to the correct order.
Don’t know the answerIf you don’t know the answer to a question say “that’s a good point, I will find out & get back to you”. Don’t make something up. You will loose your credibility & they won’t believe anything else you say.
ForgettingIf you forget what to say repeat your last sentence. Be honest, “What was I saying?”. Give them something to do or take a break.
Problem Solving
14
One student answering all the questionsIf one person keeps answering all the questions, put your hand up & out to them & look at someone else.
Talking studentsIf someone is talking, stop, look at them, then carry on as normalUse names i.e. John what would you do if? The next person will sit up & wait for their name to be called.Don’t address someone individually (by their name) if they are not keeping up.Let people know you don’t miss a thing e.g. ‘I saw how well you did that bandage’.Fill in spare time with:Personal stories ‘I remember when ..…’ Get candidates to do a scenario/roll play
