An emergency first aid course, for people who have not done one in the last two years, is being run by Rycotewood College at Thame.

The 15-a-head course on July 12 covers major illnesses, burns and scalds, assessing casulaties and what to do about shock, severe bleeding and chemical contamination.

The award at the end of the course is linked with NVQ and SVQ qualifications.
