COVID-19
With the ongoing changes in the phases of COVID 19 recovery, FIRST AID MEDIC continues to offer training.  If you have any questions regarding our training or our COVID-19 operational plan, please feel free to contact us.  Rest assured, we are using enhanced cleaning of all equipment used and participants very rarely shared any equipment in our courses even pre-COVID; we will continue to follow or exceed recommendations from the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health and the Public Health Agency of Canada.  As a provider of healthcare and health related services, we are committed to the health and safety of all participants in our programs therefore a non-medical or medical grade mask may still be required in our courses.  All our instructors have at least 3 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.  Alcohol-based hand sanitizer will be available throughout all courses as well as hot water and soap in washrooms.  Hand washing/sanitizing and covering your mouth and nose is the best means of preventing the spread of a respiratory illness.  If you think you may have a potentially communicable illness, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND the course.  The course coordinator reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone if they deem there is a risk to public health or to the health and safety of participants.  Keep in mind that our company must also abide by the rules and regulations of the host facility which may exceed public health requirements.

Malgré la situation précaire du COVID 19, FIRST AID MEDIC continue à offrir des cours.  Si vous avez des questions relatives à notre plan opérationel, veuillez nous contacter.  Soyez assurés que nous pratiquons un nettoyage et une désinfection améliorés de tout notre équipement et les participants ne partageaient que rarement l'équipement, même avant la pandémie; nous allons continuer de suivre ou surpasser les recommandations du Bureau du médecin hygiéniste en chef ainsi que de l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada.  Un masque médical ou non-médical ou "masque communautaire" sera possiblement obligatoire pour entrer dans les lieux d'entraînement dans tous nos cours.  Tous nos instructeurs auront reçu au moins 3 doses du vaccin contre la COVID-19.  Un nettoyant pour les main à base d'alcool (concentration de 70% ou plus) sera disponible en tout temps en plus d'avoir accès à du savon et de l'eau chaude.  Rappelez-vous que le lavage des mains et le fait de couvrir sa bouche et son nez sont les meilleurs moyens de prévention des infections respiratoires.  Pour la sécurité de tous, NE VENEZ PAS au cours si vous pensez être malade.  La personne qui coordonne le cours se réserve le droit de refusé l'accès si un risque à la santé publique ou aux participants est perçu.  Veuillez noter que nous sommes aussi sujet aux règlements du site hôte de l'événement qui pourraient avoir des exigences qui sont plus exigeantes que celles de la santé publique.



 
 
We also offer consultations services over the phone, Zoom or facetime if required.  Feel free to contact us.

Did you know... as of February 18, 2021, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada will require the use of feedback devices in all BLS, ACLS and PALS courses... also, first aid and CPR courses that have an ONLINE ONLY option are not valid for regulatory bodies and do not meet level C or provincial Worksafe requirements.
First Aid Medic has been using feedback devices since 2017.

Saviez-vous... à partir du 18 février 2021, la Fondation des maladies du coeur et AVC du Canada exigera l’utilisation de dispositifs de rétroaction instumentés dans tous ses cours de SIR et cours de soins avancés... de plus, les cours de premiers soins ou RCR administrés uniquement en ligne ne remplissent pas les exigences de niveau C et ne sont pas reconnus par les organismes réglemmentés.
First Aid Medic utilise des dispositifs de rétroaction depuis 2017.

Our company proudly gives back to our community by means of volunteer time as well as cash donations.
