Question 1

What’s the difference between basic workplace first aid and FREC‑level training?

Local Medic · Accepted Answer

Workplace first aid courses are designed to meet general HSE expectations for most businesses; they’re about recognising and managing common emergencies until help arrives. FREC‑level training goes further into pre‑hospital care – more clinical depth, more complex scenarios and higher expectations of what your staff can safely do. We’ll only recommend FREC where there’s a genuine need for that level of capability.
