Occupational Therapy, Medical Orthotics and Prosthetics and Arts Therapy Board practitioners are advised that basic first-aid training is required to be included in all training courses.
Students should demonstrate knowledge and skill in first aid equivalent to a basic first aid course level (BLS); thus enabled to deal with minor workplace emergencies e.g., minor injuries, epilepsy, blood sugar related emergencies, CPR and correct positioning of a person who lost consciousness.
First-aid certificates must be valid at the time of graduation.
Please ensure that refresher courses must be completed for this requirement.
