We learned how to bandage cuts tightly. We practiced on each other making sure we kept our snail shape with the bandage and tucked the end in to keep it secure. We Learned that once the cut is bandaged the person should keep their injury elevated to help slow down the bleeding.
We practiced making calls to the emergency services by dialing 111 and following these steps... 1) Letting them know if we need the police, ambulance or fire engine. 2) Telling them your address. 3) Telling them your phone number. 4) Telling them what the emergency situation is.
We were also able to explore Dave's ambulance and see all the different tools and equipment, including a telephone in the back that talks to the hospital.
Mr Harrop was even allowed to sit in the driver's seat and put on the lights and sirens he had a blast!
