School first aid stations

Students practice calling emergency services and putting a classmate in the recovery position.

Steps

1. We review the emergency number 112 and the script for briefing the operator.
2. Station 1: Simulated mock phone call to emergency dispatch.
3. Station 2: Practicing the recovery position in partner pairs.
4. Station 3: Cleaning a simulated graze and applying sterile dressings and bandages.

Tip: Invite the school nurse or a local paramedic to review techniques.

Materials needed

• Elastic conforming bandages (5 rolls)
• School first aid kit (1 unit)
