You can download a free
St John Ambulance first aid app that could potentially help you save a life as it'll guide you through CPR and how to deal with a range of other emergencies.
The free app (download for
Apple/iOS,
Android or
BlackBerry) provides step-by-step guides, both in illustrated form and it also has voice instructions to keep your hands free for giving first aid.
If you're a cyclist, there's a separate
first aid for cyclists app to keep with you while out on the road. The First Aid for Cyclists app has tips on how to turn your cycling equipment into first aid kit. The app aims to give every cyclist the skills to deal with the most common cycling injuries, including head injuries, cuts and grazes, and muscle injuries.
Even basic first aid knowledge can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. These two free first aid apps put potentially life-saving advice at your fingertips.
