You’re having lunch with a friend and he begins to choke on some food. He can’t speak, breathe or cough it up. How can you help?

If he cannot clear the object himself, support him with one hand while leaning him forwards. Give up to five back blows between shoulder blades.

Your colleague is complaining of breathlessness and a tight pain in the chest. You suspect a heart attack. What should you do?

You need to ease the strain on his heart, so make him as comfortable as possible. A half-sitting position, with his head and shoulders supported and his knees bent is best. Call 999

2 of 6

One of your friends has cut his arm and is bleeding severely. How do you treat his injury?

Apply direct pressure over the wound with your hand using a clean dressing. If you don’t have a dressing, ask him to apply pressure himself. Maintain direct pressure on the wound to control bleeding.

You’re walking home and you see a man lying on the ground. You ask him if he’s all right but he doesn’t respond. What should you do next?
