The Official Text for First Aiders - By: , 10 Mar 2004 
This is the official text for first aidersin the UK. It is quite well laid out, with plenty of graphic (but not gory!) illustrations of interventions & is easy-to-understand. As a Registered First Aid Instructor/Examiner I find the previous edition to have been better. For starters it was clearer on the management of the unconscious spinally injured casualty, whereas a bit of exegesis is required with this text to arrive at pretty much the same conclusion as the 7th edition (but just more subtly put - a purposefully grey area perhaps?). There are other flaws. Some of the graphics don't correlate with best practice, & the same can be said about the textin places. However, this is no fault of the book itself, which is a must-have for First Aiders as it reflects the official line on approaches & interventions. Flawed yet indispensable, with plenty of food for critical thought!
