Have read a few similar books, and this one is definitely the best one I've read. Easy to understand and with clear pictures. I think everyone should have a copy at home.

This book is an absolute must for anyone with an interest in first aid or who is considering ambulance work. It contains a comprehensive guide to immediate first aid. It is considered the bible among those who practice first aid. Of course a basic first aid course with a qualified instructor is a must for everyone, this book will provide you with a good reference guide.
