Printed and online resources update

September 2021

All of the Everyday Learning Frist Aid training resources have now been updated to comply with the new units of competency HLTAID009, HLTAID010 and HLTAID011 released 16 October 2020.

Online Learning

We are pleased to advise that our online First Aid Theory program can now be accessed via your own LMS (Learning Management System) using an LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) option which connects your LMS to our learning platform.

Many popular LMS software programs such as ManageBac, D2L, Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle employ LTI integration to supply student access to third-party software, and connecting to this system will enable your students to access the First Aid Theory program through your LMS.

This new offer from Everyday Learning Pty Ltd does not replace the popular option of accessing our online resources through our LMS but will provide you with the benefit of using your LMS and student login details, while accessing the latest up to date first aid theory direct from our experts, meaning less admin for you and a better student experience. Having both access options now available will enable us to provide the best fit for your business.

Anapen® is back!

Anapen 300®, Anapen 500® and Anapen 150 Junior® adrenaline autoinjectors are now available in Australia on the PBS from September 2021.
Additional information about how to use Anapen® has been added to both our printed and online resources. For further information go to www.anapen.com.au

EpiPen® use changes

Many of you will be aware that the manufacturer of EpiPen® adrenaline autoinjectors has advised of changes to the way EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® should be administered.

These changes cover reduced injection time from 10 to 3 seconds and the removal of the massage step after the injection.

EpiPen’s with a 10 second label can continue to be used and should not be replaced unless they have been used, are just about to expire or have expired. All EpiPen’s should now be held in place for 3 seconds, regardless of the instructions on the label. However, if they are held for 10 seconds it will not affect the way that the adrenaline works. For further information, please go to: How to give EpiPen

CPR training methods study

A study was conducted into the effectiveness of hands only (compression only) CPR and traditional CPR training and the results were published by Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine (CEEM). We thought that the results may be of interest, especially in the light of the fact that ARC guidelines recommend that CPR (and CPR training) must include both ventilations and compressions. Here is the link to the study report.
