emergency first response

Emergency First Response (EFR) refers to the training and techniques used to provide immediate assistance in medical emergencies, like injuries or sudden illnesses. This training equips individuals with the skills to perform basic first aid, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and use an automated external defibrillator (AED). EFR emphasizes the importance of quick action, assessing the situation, and effectively communicating with emergency services. It's designed for anyone, not just medical professionals, so they can confidently respond in emergencies, potentially saving lives and minimizing further injury until professional help arrives.
