Preparing Students With First Aid Skills for a Safer Future

SEGi conducted an impactful education visit to SMK Jinjang, Kuala Lumpur, focusing on Basic First Aid. This initiative brought together five staff members from the School of Nursing and 79 secondary school students, providing them with essential life-saving skills. The session was led by a clinical instructor, alongside a lecture and two Year 3 nursing students, in collaboration with the Marketing Department.

The visit aimed to equip students with the confidence to apply basic first aid techniques accurately and effectively. It also served as a platform to develop simple, age-appropriate lessons on first aid, ensuring comprehension across different age groups. By engaging with students, teachers, and staff, the initiative promoted knowledge exchange on common safety practices and injury prevention, fostering a culture of health awareness.

Students actively participated in hands-on training sessions, which included demonstrations on arm-sling application, CPR techniques using a mannequin, and proper stretcher handling. These interactive sessions provided practical exposure to emergency response, reinforcing their ability to respond to real-life situations. The event also offered nursing students an invaluable opportunity to enhance their communication skills and professionalism in a community setting.
