Fwiw, did a Red Cross FAAW 2 months ago and, while they taught rescue breaths, they did say they’re weren’t ‘needed’.
What’s a civ com?
I think you need to appreciate that some units are looking forward to the wing committee managing their funds, so we actually have someone managing our funds.

I can appreciate that.
But lowest common denominator is never a solution.
But we digress.

We do it in one night with 1 Annie between 2, but definitely backed up with further scenarios at a later date.
I’m impressed if you’re managing to drag out expand EFA to a whole day. At that point, surely it’s better to do the 2nd day as well and call it YFA?

Well not a whole day of 9-5, but a more relaxed, flexible, and stretched out part day of around 4 hours.

So a days training is 4 hours, relaxed, leisurely, stretched out?
Are you sure you don’t work at HQAC?
sounds claxon!
@Giminion is commandant air cadets and I claim my prize. I have irrefutable evidence, it is clear for all to see!!!

Only possible if the wind is below 5 gusting to a max of 7, partially overcast with an outside air temp of 14.73C to 17.26C*
You got me.
(*Unless it’s RIAT)
But returning back to EFA…

Whilst it should be taught the message from the Resuscitation Council UK is:
Rescue breaths
If you are trained to do so, after 30 compressions, provide 2 rescue breaths.
Alternate between providing 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths.
If you are **unable or unwilling to provide ventilations**, give continuous chest compressions.
We still aren’t doing them at work. Although I have my annual refresher in December so will see what they say then.
Very recently completed a SJA FAAW course and they spoke about breaths but didn’t make us practise or form part of the assessment.
Covid aside, the likely hood of you wanting to actually give them is low anyway.

RAFAC/SJA training is still no rescue breaths, check SharePoint Training Portal.
