2. • There are many situations which may require first aid, and
many countries have legislation, regulation, or guidance which
specifies a minimum level of first aid provision. First aid,
however, does not necessarily require any particular equipment
or prior knowledge, and can involve improvisation with
materials available at the time, often by untrained persons. First
aid is generally performed by the layperson, with many people
trained in providing basic levels of first aid, and others willing
to do so from acquired knowledge.

3. • Preserve life: The overriding aim of all medical care which includes first aid, is to save lives and
minimize the threat of death.

from worsening, or danger of further injury, this covers both external factors, and internal
factors
• Promote recovery: First aid also involves trying to start the recovery process from the illness or
injury, and in some cases might involve completing a treatment.
