EMERGENCY first aid which could save lives has been made easier to access.

St John Ambulance has compiled a simple guide online.

A spokesman for the charity said: “Following recent incidents in Manchester and London, we’ve seen how vital it is that the public know how to help injured people and save lives.

“That’s why we’ve collated clear, expert advice on a web page that’s easy to favourite, bookmark, or add to the home screen on a smartphone.

“Along with our app that’s available for iPhone, Android and Blackberry users, we’re making it as simple as possible for anyone to access first aid in an emergency.”

To access the advice online visit sja.org.uk/emergencyfirstaid.
