Is there anyone on either list who is employed by the HSE???
I would like to ask them a question about why paramedics are not allowed to
teach first aid but nurses and doctors can.
Apparently HSE state that because we (ambulance personnel) do not posses a
nursing PIN number or are qualified doctors that we don't have the aptitude
for teaching first aid unless we have a 'first aid at work' certificate we
can't teach FA.
Does anyone else on either lists think this is a touch crazy - I (and my
techician/paramedic collegues) do more first aid than the other two
professions.
Advise on how to go forward on this would be appreciated.
