BLNS Strengthens Community First Aid Skills in 40th Anniversary Project

On October 17, 2025, the Bernadette de Lourdes School of Nursing Science (BLNS), Assumption University of Thailand (AU), organized a First Aid Training Project in collaboration with the Institute for Research and Academic Services (IRAS) at AU’s Hua Mak Campus. The activity formed part of BLNS’s 40th Anniversary Celebration and reflected AU’s commitment to community engagement and public health.

The training brought together 30 primary school teachers from communities surrounding AU’s Suvarnabhumi Campus, providing them with practical knowledge and hands-on skills for responding to common emergencies. Participants rotated through five training stations covering wound care and bandaging, safe patient transfer, choking management, hot–cold compresses, rational drug use, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The project equipped teachers with essential first aid skills that can help protect students and members of their communities during emergencies. Participants received certificates upon completion and expressed high satisfaction with the training.
