Wendy decided to join U3A Torrevieja to fill in time and to increase
her knowledge, saw there was a need to help people understand
what to do in a given emergency, so volunteered to commence a

Wendy's First Aid Group covers problems and emergencies within the home. The group meets once a month
and covers topics such as:- Contents of First Aid Box, Rescue Breaths And Chest Compressions. Shock,
Choking, Injuries and Bandages. The group will also cover illness at a later date. It is a fun time but with a
serious side and all who have attended so far, have found the sessions to be very helpful.
