This clear and practical demonstration explains how to place someone in the recovery position if they are unconscious but still breathing. It outlines when to use the technique, how to position the casualty safely to maintain an open airway, and when to begin CPR if breathing stops. Presented by Emma Hammett of First Aid for Life, the video forms part of a wider programme of online and in-person first aid training designed to give people the confidence and skills to respond effectively in an emergency.
