First aid is the provision of limited care for an illness or injury, which is provided, usually by a lay person, to a sick or injured patient until definitive medical treatment can be accessed, or until the illness or injury is dealt with.

The 4 main aims of first aid, commonly referred to as the “4 Ps” are:
Ø Preserve life
Ø Prevent further injury
Ø Promote recovery
Ø Protect yourself
