Documentation of First Aid
Any medical first aid administered must allways be documented. This is so that what happened whan and why can be tracked afterwards.
JDMT provides a first aid report, that also serves as a check list. As a result, not only is the first aid documented with little effort but at the same time it also ensures that priorities are placed correctly and nothing important is forgotten.
The completed first aid reports mus be evaluated by a medical expert. Feedback to the emergency services helps to improve the quality of call-outs.
The details of the first aid administered must be kept confidential, specifically as far as the treated person’s personal details are concerned. The completed first aid documents must be treated with the appropriate care and locked away.
