He said that first aid is paramount as it allows a person who has been injured some comfort before they reach a hospital. He added that the importance of first aid cannot be over emphasised.

According to the PRO, the training aims to introduce young people to the importance of first aid. He stressed that the people attending the training should pay close attention and put the knowledge they gain to the best possible use in their communities.
