Abstract
Members of the public were questioned regarding previous first aid training and whether they believed that they would be able to manage a seriously injured person adequately. They were then assessed as to their awareness of basic principles of dealing with such a person. It was found that, whilst confidence as an independent variable was not associated with better knowledge, those who had some form of training were significantly more confident about their own abilities and also performed better in the assessment. However there remained a minority who would be unwilling to become involved in the initial treatment of a seriously injured person and training did not appear to reduce this tendency.
