The Primary, Secondary Survey and the Recovery Position
When you are watching this video we will be encouraging you to practice on yourself or on another (or maybe a teddy or pillow).
Download the resources attached to help you and remember to start and stop the video as often as you like.
Practice the recovery position on both sides - and if you have a casualty, ask them to be floppy and act like a sack of potatoes (if you let go of their hand they should just flop it back to the floor again)!
Practice makes perfect!
