I have looked at the 'First Aid' by the Australian Red Cross and that is not too helpful.
The comments re the St Johns one don't sound promising either.
Also the St Johns one says iPhone. I have used some iPhone apps on the iPad and they are a pain as they have to be in a fixed orientation to read.

Hi Cultana
i am a first aid lecturer and sports trainer and have used one called mediprofile or similar in the past. I haven't used it for a while but from what i remember it was ok.
It might be easier to get yourself a current first aid book though for emergencies.
There are a few i would recommend and if you are interested just let me know.
Cheers
Brett

I suggest for anyone who is not conversant with first aid and thinking of traveling they should invest in a first aid course.
The knowledge is not heavy to carry and your brain is a better storage and retrieval device than any computer.
I never stop if there is anyone else at an accident but at least I have the knowledge if I need it at any time.
Regards
Brian

Let me expand.
This is not a case of you should do a first aid course, done that. Nor is it a case of a good first aid kit, got mine.
I have the St Johns, Australian First Aid book, but as a quick reference as a mind jogger it is too cumbersome.
What I am after is a quick reference/mind jogger like some app on an iPad.

I have held a current senior first aid certificate for more than 30 years and feel everyone should have some level of FA training depending on their lifestyle,or recreational/sporting pursuits, my involvement in a youth organization requires me to have the qualification together with CPR update annually. in the middle of nowhere you cant rely on passing traffic for help .... Make sure you have the skills to provide the initial response in any emergency situation ..... My opinion only
but with out all the constant point/clicks to get the information.
The Saint Johns app is set for an iphone/andriod phone and thus has a fixed orientation. Somewhat restrictive on an ipad.
chaslib: I would agree with re FA trg. In fact considering where most GNs go it would help. Its just that I realised that there are times a memory jog helps irrespective how recent ones FA retraining was. Hence my original question.
I presume this is the Saint Johns app you talking about cultana .
Sorry could not help you , can only suggest searching with Google .
I have the same problem with my i phone have to go though I Tunes . Hope you find what your after ... be good to hear if you do . Regards Sherbert .

Hi Ralph,
i had a chat to St Johns and I might be able to get their CD for my laptop. I will follow this up. If so I will let you know.
the CD should be a bit like the e-firstaid thing on their web.
i have an old copy of the CD but it wont work on my XP setup. Seems to be based on NT.
Is there a good first aid app for the iPad?
