Disclaimer
Firstaid is general first-aid information — not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or certified training, and never a substitute for emergency services.
Last updated: 3 June 2026
If a situation is life-threatening, call your local emergency number now (e.g. NZ 111, US/CA 911, EU 112, UK 999, AU 000). Do not wait for Firstaid.
What Firstaid is
Firstaid provides general, educational first-aid information and self-learning resources for everyday households. Our content is drawn from publicly available first-aid guidance (such as that published by recognised organisations like the Red Cross and St John).
What Firstaid is not
- Not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- Not certified or accredited first-aid training.
- Not a replacement for emergency services, an ambulance, or a clinician.
- Not a seller of medical devices, medicines, or any physical product.
Firstaid cannot see, examine, or assess you or anyone else. The information we provide is general in nature and may not fit your specific situation. Always use your own judgement and seek professional care when in doubt.
No clinical relationship
Using Firstaid does not create a doctor–patient, paramedic–patient, or any other clinical or professional care relationship between you and SAFETY & MEDICAL MANUFACTURERS LIMITED. We are a publisher of educational information, not a healthcare provider.
AI-generated content
Some content is generated with the assistance of AI based on public first-aid guidance. It may be incomplete or, in rare cases, inaccurate. It must not be relied upon as a medical decision and must never delay calling emergency services when help is needed.
Get real training
Hands-on skills save lives. For certified first-aid training, contact a licensed provider in your country (for example, St John or the Red Cross). Firstaid is a complement to — not a substitute for — proper training and professional care.
No liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SAFETY & MEDICAL MANUFACTURERS LIMITED is not liable for any outcome arising from use of, or reliance on, the information Firstaid provides. Use it as general guidance only.
