I am EFAW (Emergency First Aid at Work) trained, basic but enough for me to deal with a client who was choking on a piece of chicken, others who self-injure and the various day to day stuff which happens at work and at home.

Having worked in a community pharmacy 95% of people that come in for pain relief have bo idea what cocodamol is. But they know what nurofen and panadol is! Branding is terrible.
