The term “first aid” is now an accepted part of everyday language,and there is no doubt that it’s about the help given to sick and injured people.But where did the “first aid” originate① from and who were the “first aiders”??

The first recorded history of first aid dates back to 1099,when religious knights (骑士)decided to train for medical care.The Order of St John,which is the predecessor (前身)of St John Ambulance② organization,only worked on the treatment③ of battlefield injuries.They are the first recorded example of people trained to do first aid.

In the mid-19th century the first Geneva Convention and the International Red Cross were created to protect and deal with sick and injured soldiers on the battlefields.A short time later,an army surgeon first came up with the idea of training ordinary people in what was called “pre-medical treatment”.

In 1878,the term “first aid” first appeared in Britain and is thought to be from “first treatment” and “National Aid”.Surgeon Major Peter Shepherd and Doctor Coleman ran the first public first aid course at Woolwich Presbyterian Church,London in January 1878.

During the First and Second World Wars,the British Red Cross and St John Ambulance joined forces to form the Joint War Organization and played a major role in support④ of the medical services,both on the battlefields abroad and in Britain.

Modern-day pre-hospital treatment of the sick and injured has advanced rapidly in recent years due to the latest medical research and equipment⑤ such as high-tech ambulances,but the basic aim of first aid today is exactly the same as that of the 11th century’s medical knights.
