Learn one basic first aid skill

Read how to do one first aid step, such as treating a minor burn.

Why it helps

Basic skills can matter in an emergency. Learning one at a time makes it manageable.

How to do it

1. Choose one skill, such as stopping a nosebleed.
2. Read from a reliable health or Red Cross style source.
3. Say the steps aloud from memory.

Make it easier

Read the steps once.

Make it harder

Practise on a willing family member, where safe.

This is not a substitute for a proper first aid course.
