It is the training that enables a person to preserve or save a life. Human bodies are susceptible to injuries, illnesses and trauma. We never know when any injury may happen to us, the people we love or those who are around us. Thus, it is always good to have some amount of basic knowledge to take care of critical situations.</p><p><strong>Requirements</strong></p><p>First Aid Response (FAR) is a new training standard developed by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council of Ireland. The objective of FAR is to improve, and replace the current Occupational First Aid course and have a standardised syllabus nationwide.
