First aid training workshop for secondary school students at US Vietnam Talent International School (UTS)

On April 1, 2025, US Vietnam Talent International School collaborated with lecturers from Van Lang University to organize the workshop "Training initial first aid skills" for 8th and 9th-grade students. Through theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, the students were equipped to respond effectively in emergency situations, contributing to building a safer and more supportive community.

At the workshop, Mr. Vu Long, a lecturer from the Faculty of Nursing at Van Lang University, shared fundamental first aid knowledge, including basic definitions, the role of the rescuer, and how to provide accurate information when calling for emergency services.

The students were divided into nine teams and practiced at five first aid stations, including electric shock first aid, burn first aid, drowning first aid, choking first aid, and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Each station posed a challenge requiring students to apply their knowledge and skills to handle situations. The dedicated guidance of Van Lang University lecturers boosted students' confidence in performing each step.

Additionally, the students practiced CPR during the workshop under the direct supervision of Mr. Vu Long. This was not only a skill test but also an opportunity for students to develop calm and decisive attitudes when facing emergencies.
