Heathrow Air Ambulance Service Survey Reveals Parents of Small Children Lack First Aid Knowledge

June 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Heathrow Air Ambulance Service, a leading private ambulance company in the UK, recently undertook a survey that revealed most parents of small children have a lack of first aid knowledge.

Heathrow Air Ambulance Service's alarming new statistics identified that nearly half (44%) of parents of small kids havent learn't basic first aid in preparation for any eventuality. 47% of these parents believe child proofing their home is more important than learning potential life-saving first aid skills.

21% of people asked also stated they feel learning first aid skills is not critically important, even though 65% are worried at the thought of their child requiring first aid assistance. However, 62% of parents admitted that knowledge of first aid skills would make them feel more confident in parenthood.

A head paramedic for Heathrow Air Ambulance Service commented: "Our recent survey produced shocking figures that shown that most parents do not have the basic first aid skills to save their own child's life. By taking the first aid training, parents can be confident that they can act quickly in the event of an emergency, and could therefore be the difference between life and death."
