Anyone can learn the skills to offer help after an accident, snakebite, or even a stroke. Survival starts on the ground, in the first minutes after an incident. It’s about knowing what to do while we’re on our way. Our emergency trauma training gives you practical skills to manage life-threatening events like car crashes, farming accidents, stroke and snake bites. ​Arming yourself with the vital knowledge is the best protection you can offer your loved ones and community. https://www.lifeflight.org.au/first-minutes-matter
