Somerset Regional Council will host First Aid for Seniors sessions across the region in 2026, delivered by St John Ambulance Queensland.
The information sessions are supported by Council’s seniors connection program, In Good Company.
The sessions will discuss specific health conditions and vulnerabilities experienced by seniors, equipping seniors and carers with practical skills and knowledge to manage common age-related emergencies.
From handling falls and managing chronic conditions to recognising signs of heart attack, stroke, or sudden illness, the training focuses on the scenarios seniors are most likely to encounter.
Bookings are essential. Contact the Council for more details.
The first session will be held on Wednesday, 18 February from 9am to 1pm at Alexandra Hall on Cressbrook Street, Toogoolawah.
