The Global First Aid Reference Centre believes that in order to make communities safer and resilient, first aid needs to be recognised as an integral part of a wider developmental approach.
As such first aid training should be accessible to all.
To make this happen, all Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies should provide quality first aid courses and empower volunteers and communities with the necessary skills to save lives.
The platform offers a range of learning materials, tools and guidance to support your National Society and their first aid training programmes. It also presents the work of the Global First Aid Reference Centre with and for Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies.
It also offers a place to exchange ideas, share advice or connect with others. Together, we can learn best practice from the active community of Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers committed to providing first aid for all.
