I was watching this documentary and I chanced upon a most disturbing statistic:

"Nearly 140,000 people die each year in England and Wales, when basic first aid could have saved them"

That's alot of people! And that's only in England and Wales, god knows what the numbers are like elsewhere. In it, Fabrice Muamba, that footballer who died for over 78 minutes called for more first aid teaching.

I'd love to do first aid training! Not just because you get a small certificate and all that, but because you get life-saving skills.

Do you know first aid? Does many of your friends know? Is first aid courses and training readily available?
