Requirement

10. Moving a patient

Required Often forgotten

Five parts, and three of them need at least one other person.

Warning. Three of these five need at least one other person, and 10(e) needs several: you improvise a stretcher and move a presumed unconscious person 25 yards with helpers under YOUR supervision. That is a leadership requirement wearing a first aid coat. Arrange 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) as one session rather than three.

What this is made of

10(a). When to move somebody, and when not to
10(b). Choosing and showing a method
10(c). Out of a smoke-filled room
10(d). Twenty-five yards with a sprained ankle
10(e). Improvise a stretcher and lead the carry
