ENGLISH COMPETITION
First-aid team wins international honors

A LOCAL first-aid team
recently became the first
Canadian group of first-
aiders to win a competition
category at the International
First Aid and Diagnosis
Competition in England.

Years of practice paid off for
the North Shore St. John Am-
bulance First Aid team. Team
members Linda Fehner, Carl
Glinsbockel, Sarah Rogers,
Richard Matthews and coach Tony
Lyttle travelled to England carlier
this vear to practise with the Lon-
don Metro, Lancashire and
Thames Valley police departments.

By the end of competition day,
the North Shore team picked up
first place in the first-aid tests and
third place in the diagnosis catego-
ry of the competition. The team
ranked second cverall, edged out
by a team from Ireland. The win-
ning irish team landed second
placings in both the first aid and
diagnostics categories.

Local team leader Tony Lyttle is
happy with this year’s results. But
he says the team is eager to return
to international competition and
challenge the frish. *'! think we
tand a good chance of getting
back to compete again next year.””
To do that the team must repeat
winning «ways exhibited this year
when the group won ihe regional
Workers’ Compensation Board
(WCB) first-aid competition and
then went on to win the WCB
finals.

The jocal team competed in a
field of TI international teams in
England. The international com-
petition is sponsored by the British
Casualties Union (BCU). BCU
members act as real casualties and
are trained to assess and respond
appropriatety to the care they
receive while in the hands of first-
aid teams.
