Actions without error are within your grasp.

In North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the Malteser organisation is committed to equipping individuals with essential first aid skills. This year, Malteser aims to train and retrain over 120,000 people in the region.

First aid is a crucial skill that everyone should possess. Providing first aid to the best of one's knowledge and ability is not wrong. In fact, it can save lives. However, it's important to remember that making the emergency call is a legal requirement when providing first aid.

For those seeking to refresh their first aid knowledge, there are numerous resources available. Online platforms like apps and videos offer convenient and accessible ways to learn or brush up on first aid techniques.

It's worth noting that no civil or criminal liability is incurred for damage caused during first aid, unless intentional or grossly negligent actions were taken. This means that individuals can confidently step in to provide aid in an emergency without fear of legal repercussions.

First aid training and refresher courses last nine teaching units and can typically be completed in one day. Malteser recommends practical first aid refresher courses every two years to ensure that individuals remain equipped with the most up-to-date first aid knowledge.

The number of people trained by Malteser has been stable with a slight upward trend for years. This is a testament to the organisation's commitment to promoting first aid education and its impact on the community.

In conclusion, first aid training is an invaluable skill that everyone should consider learning. With the convenience of online resources and the commitment of organisations like Malteser, there has never been a better time to take the first step towards becoming a first aid-certified individual.
