first aid field guide

[dardennen]

Hi,

I'm looking for a good first aid guide which is small enough to take along on trips,
but with lots of practical info and how to's.
Any idea's?

TBH is a bit of a relative question. It all depends on your current skill level.

You can't beat a good first aid course. But to answer your question: First Aid Manual This is the one that the British Red Cross and the St Johns Ambulance use to teach.

A basic first aid course isn't expensive, your local red cross centre run them frequently.

A manual is pretty much useless during a emergency, best bet is to get yourself booked on some first aid courses

Completely agree.

As already discussed about undergoing appropriate first aid training but afterwards I think you could do no better than to purchase a copy of the Oxford Book of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine:

Definitely the First Aid Manual by St John Ambulance.

I prefer this one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wilderness-...=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1402187075&sr=1-5

Wilderness and Survival Medicine by Chris Breen and Craig Ellis - an absolute stunner of a book - and they do first aid, Wilderness Medic and other advanced training too
