CADETS from Wharfedale and Keighley learned life-saving skills when they took part in a St John Ambulance Youth First Aid Course.
Twelve cadets from 1224 (Wharfedale) Squadron and 2431 (Keighley) Squadron took part in the course at 1224 Squadron’s HQ in Ilkley.
Organised by Officer Cadet Kjersti Moore, the cadets were taught a number of first aid techniques, including how to deal with both conscious and unconscious casualties, how to recognise and treat various injuries and how to perform CPR.
Following assessment, the cadets were happy to know that they had all passed the course, receiving the red ‘Youth First Aid’ badge.
Sgt (ATC) Sam White, who assessed some of the cadets, said: “It’s great to see so many young people willing to learn these skills, which could, in the future, help save lives.”
