Futures

The Health and Safety Executive is currently investigating changes to the First Aid at Work '4 day' course, with suggestions that it will become a 3 day course with yearly refresher courses. This is likely to happen, but we're probably at least a year away from this change.

Another new first aid course being considered is the "Emergency First Aid", a one day course, that is likely to replace the current Appointed Person course. The main difference will be that it will come under the control of the HSE. This course is not currently available and we are again at least a year from this change.
