Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has concluded a series of training workshops for administrative staff and supervisors at public schools in Qatar.
Being part of the QRCS School Program, the workshops were held in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education’s (MoEHE) Training and Educational Development Center.
Over eight days, some 109 administrative staff and supervisors from 107 public schools attended the first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) courses. They were nominated by the MoEHE as they have been in direct contact with students throughout the academic year.
Instructed by paramedics and trainers at the QRCS Training and Development Cener, the courses covered a number of topics, including skills in handling injuries, fainting, accidents, burns, bruises, shocks, suffocation and electrocution, as well as CPR fin cases of cardiac arrest. The program involved three parts: 1. Theoretical lectures with presentations and discussion of emergencies and possible scenarios. 2. Simulation practice to administer first aid and CPR. 3. Theoretical and practical test for each trainee to receive first aid and CPR certification.
This is the second edition of the school leaders training programme on disaster management and first aid skills. There were many advantages, such as the shift from simple public awareness sessions to accredited training courses. The good commitment of the trainees helped to maximize the benefits of the scientific material taught to them.
There was special training for 13 teachers and administrative staff from Qatar Technical School where students attend applied workshops dealing with welding, metalworking, heat, chemicals and electricity. The training was tailored to the needs of teachers and trainers in the labs of the school.
The main focus was on how to respond to emergencies such as suffocation, burns and injuries of different types and degrees, especially those caused by chemicals, taking into account the materials used in the academic curriculum.
