This module is designed for specific roles such as firearms and public order police personnel, and Roads Policing Units who are non-healthcare professionals working in high risk environments. This learning supplements the basic foundation first aid skills.

This module offers a menu of enhanced first aid skills that the National First Aid Forum has been advised are suitable for police personnel who are non-healthcare professionals. The Faculty of Pre Hospital Care Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh has defined the content of this module as achievable and legally appropriate for the police service.

This learning has been designed in addition to basic foundation first aid skills, appropriate to role requirements (modules 1 Basic Life Support, 2 First Aid Skills Police (Emergency First Aider at Work) or 4 First Aid at Work Police), and should not be taught in isolation. These skills must be refreshed annually.

Due to the nature of this course and the practical work involved, this course is delivered in the classroom only.
