The 3 main aims of first aid, commonly referred to as the “3 Ps” are:
-Preserve life
-Prevent further injury
-Promote recovery
In addition, some trainers may also advocate a 4th ‘P’ - Protect yourself, although this is not technically an ‘aim’ of providing first aid, and some people would consider that it is adequately covered by ‘Prevent further injury’ as this is to the casualty, yourself or others.
