Would you know what to do in a medical emergency?
​
Our research on University of Warwick students has found a mere 7% reported that they would know what to do in a medical emergency every time. To compound the issue, 79% of students were unaware of any first aid society on campus.
​
This data suggests a clear need for increased exposure and opportunity to learn first aid at the university. With 57% of surveyed students indicating a willingness to learn more, the WMEM intend to cause a change and get students more engaged with first aid.
​
On Monday the 2nd of March, WMEM and the First Aid Society will be running a workshop on campus with the aim to educate and give students the ability to act in a medical emergency. Click on the Facebook link to see the event!
