SJA Disco Duty

Example report, very simplified

On the Friday that just passed (10th Feb) my sister and I had our first ever duty as first aiders at St John's ambulance.

It was at a police-held disco for teenagers, where we had to treat one girl who was experiencing pain in her ankle while she was wearing a leg brace.

Thankfully it wasn't a horrific injury, and the girl just required an ice pack while the adult first aiders examined her ankle for any fractures.

I filled in lots of paper work though (for legal reasons) which are quite lengthy but in my opinion really fun! As you have to write in detail of what happened, all patient information, medical history, allergies..etc.

Luckily the girl was fine and eventually went back to the party, but later returned with further pain so we stayed with her and just had a chat to make sure the patient was okay and to try and distract her from her ankle.

Hope to do some more duties soon!
