On the weekend of the 7th
March 2015, 12 cadets from 1224 (Wharfedale) Squadron and 2431 (Keighley)
Squadron took part in a St. Johns Ambulance Youth First Aid Course at 1224
Squadron’s HQ in Ilkley.
Organised and run by Officer Cadet
Kjersti Moore, the cadets were taught a number of First Aid Techniques,
including how to deal with both conscious and unconscious casualties, how to
recognise and treat various injuries and how to perform CPR.
Following assessment on the Sunday, the
cadets were happy to know that they had all passed the course, receiving the
red ‘Youth First Aid’ badge.
Sergeant (ATC) Sam White, who assessed some
of the cadets on the Sunday, said ‘It’s great to see so many young people
willing to learn these skills, which could, in the future, help save lives’.
