The Superhero’s First Aid Manual: Step-By-Step Skills for Young People

About this book

You never know when you might need to put on your cape and save the day, because accidents can happen anywhere and at any time.

First aid can really help in the event of an accident, such as scraping a knee or banging your head. However, it’s also useful to know what to do in bigger emergencies – who to call, and what you can do to help until the experts get there.

In this clear, helpful and well-designed book, GP, media medic and bestselling author Dr Punam Krishan explains clearly what first aid is, what useful items might be in a first aid kit, and how to call for help if things are serious, before delving in to the various types of accidents and emergencies, such as bleeding, broken bones, burns and scalds, poisoning, eye injuries, asthma, and lots more. 

In every section there is a “When is it an emergency?” checklist which details when to call 999 for medical help, and there’s a helpful index and glossary at the end of the book. 

An unusual but fascinating and practical read for children (and adults!) everywhere.
