One of my more senior First Aid at Work groups at Lonsdale Church today deep in thought whilst doing their final test. It has got me thinking about some of the mobility problems that are experienced by older people trying to perform first aid.
For instance, their ability to move around, unsteadiness while walking, difficulty getting in and out of a chair and also kneeling on the floor whilst providing First Aid or moving someone into the recovery position! Sometimes several mild problems occur at one time and combine to seriously affect mobility.
