OVERVIEW
First Responder Care Essentials is the ideal resource for Community First Responders. Grounded in practice and covering the full remit of the CFR role, the book takes you through the skills that you need when working with patients. Topics range from communication skills to manual handling, trauma care and cardiac arrest.
…This new and modern resource is a valuable addition to the pre-hospital emergency care literature and will be well-received by those people working as first responders, often on a voluntary basis. I commend the authors for their work. Michael J. McGivern. RGN.RMN.BN.MN, April 2019. To read the full review click here []
