In a recent initiative, the staff members of the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory (NTBRL) received basic first aid training from the St. John’s Ambulance Association. This training aims to equip the staff with the necessary skills to provide immediate assistance to anyone who may require it.The training started on the 31st of July and ended on the 11th of August.
The training provided by the St. John’s Ambulance Association covered a range of topics, including basic life support, first aid for injuries, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The staff members were taught how to recognize and respond to emergencies, including how to provide basic life support to those who may be suffering from cardiac arrest or respiratory distress.
The training was conducted by experienced instructors from the St. John’s Ambulance Association, who provided hands-on training and practical demonstrations. The staff members were encouraged to ask questions and participate actively in the training sessions.
The National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. The staff members who received this training will be better equipped to handle emergencies that may arise in the laboratory or in the community. This training will also help to improve the overall safety and well-being of the staff and the people they serve.
In conclusion, the basic first aid training provided to the staff members of the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory by the St. John’s Ambulance Association is a commendable initiative. This training will not only help to improve the response to emergencies but also contribute to the overall safety and well-being of the staff and the people they serve.
