MASTER CARE EMERGENCY ACTION TROOP (MACEAT)

First aid training and refresher courses , we are targeting other population categories, for example children, cyclists, drivers ,schools, working places , sports and games , house hold and industry workers .

Education in the protection and saving of lives share universal foundations, being practical and giving confidence to act. This education is gained through awareness and refreshment initiatives such as media campaigns, training courses either in a classroom environment, CD-ROM or through an internet based e-learning system. It can also take place through involvement in community or group activities. It is essential that first aid education shows consideration for and pays respect to local conditions, culture and capacities.

Furthermore, training people to cope with road injuries should include information related to reducing both the risk of a crash by wearing reflective materials or not driving after drinking alcohol, and the severity of injury by wearing helmets when riding a motor cycle or scooter.

· How to enhance road safety practices - wear reflective materials; helmet; fasten seat belts; respect speed limits; don't drive after drinking alcohol.

· How to act safely and protect the scene - to prevent further crashes and minimize the risk for those rendering assistance; ensure self-protection.

· How to summon help - report the crash to the emergency services, and give relevant information.

· How to make an emergency removal of an injured person from the scene, when necessary and possible.

· How to assess the physical state of the injured person - check vital functions: consciousness, circulation, breathing as well as the psychological needs of those affected.

· How to respond to visible bleeding, unconsciousness, breathing problems, shock and bone trauma - to enable the injured person to be relieved and to survive whilst awaiting the arrival of professional health care services.

· How to monitor the situation and offer psychological support - to be able to sustain the assistance provided, while taking care of wounds as well as the psychological condition of the injured person.
