About The Book		  


     
  Written with the lay rescuer in mind, the My True Hero book covers everything you need to know to perform street-smart first aid in a real life situation, made easy. It is a compilation of a combined 62 years of combined field experience and decades of training experience packed into this one complete resource.
The My True Hero book is written in an engaging and simple to read format. This fully illustrated manual contains over 100 illustrations and pictorial guides that are clear and easy to follow.

The My True Hero book is unique because it covers important information not found in other first aid books such as:
  • Myth busters
    Busting local old wives remedies that people have been using for decades
  • Real life tips
    Takes you into what can happen in a real life scenario and gives you possible solutions or ideas of how you can help
  • Case studies
    With real lessons from the field
  • Exercises and quizzes
    To test what you’ve learnt from the topics covered
  • Resource links
    Where and how to get additional resources, watch video lessons and get useful resource downloads after each topic
  • And most importantly, it covers what other first aid books out there don't – how to overcome fears and barriers that stop most people from stepping forward and helping in a first aid situation
Section 1 of the My True Hero book serves to prepare you for what to expect in an emergency and the reasons why most people do not step forward to help. You will learn how to identify and overcome your own “freeze factors”. You will learn what to say, how to engage bystanders’ assistance and how to approach and help in a systematic fashion.

Section 2 is made up of 12 chapters that show you how to handle and treat a full range of conditions and injuries explained through simple step-by-step instructions and pictures. But more importantly, it tells you not only what to do, but also what NOT to do in an emergency; the common mistakes people make.

The My True Hero book contains the information included in all 15 of Singapore First Aid Training Centre courses. In other words, it’s everything we know packed into 1 complete resource, just for you.
