First Aid Training...Opinions please?

The origional haemostatic 'Quick-Clot' could form burns. It was a powder so could get carried away in the bloodstream in theory and was difficult to remove from the wound. Celox (and newer formulations of Quick-clot [I believe] have overcome these early limitations. They are now much easier for a surgeon to remove from a wound

Stick to celox, steer clear of Quickclot! You can turn yourself and others into casualties, just by opening the packet with your teeth on a windy day

Email notifications don't allow for terrible mispelt rants you have a point, but I'm not addressing those matters. They are simply responses to other people.

Turns out a survey that was carried out found some very interesting and somewhat worrying results!
​
Key results show that:
•Nearly two-thirds (59%) wouldn’tfeel confident trying to save a life
•A quarter (24%) would do nothingand wait for an ambulance to arrive or hope that a passer-by knows first aid
•Around a third (39%) would tryand do first aid even though they are not sure what to do
•Just over a quarter (28%) saythey’dknow what first aid to do – but sadly their confidence is misplaced, as thesurvey results show many would do the wrong thing and may even make the situation worse
