  1. Blended learning is an accepted method of first aid training delivery;
  2. AED use has been added to FAW/EFAW course content;
  3. Haemostatic dressings/tourniquets have been added as examples of additional training/equipment that might be identified as appropriate in an employer’s needs assessment;
