First Aid Report Writing- Solved Examples

Question 1: How can I write a first aid report that looks realistic if I’ve never attended one?

Answer: You can imagine a simple and believable situation. Think of a workshop in your school’s auditorium. Write who organised it, what was taught (like CPR, bandaging, or emergency response), and how students took part. Use natural names and actions, like: “A team from the local hospital conducted the session. They demonstrated basic techniques of first aid.” Make it sound like something that could happen in your school.

Question 2: What tense should I use while writing a first aid training report?

Answer: Always write your report in the past tense. Since you are describing an event that already happened, all actions should reflect that. For example, write “The trainer explained the importance of first aid,” not “The trainer explains.”

Question 3: Can I mention statistics or facts in a first aid report?

Answer: Yes, if they add value and sound natural. You can mention the number of students who attended, or how long the session lasted. For example: “Nearly 120 students from classes 9 and 10 took part in the training session.” Keep facts brief and avoid overloading the report with numbers.

Question 4: What if I forget the format of report writing in the exam?

Answer: Even if you forget the exact format, just remember this simple rule:
WHO – WHAT – WHEN – WHERE – WHY – HOW
Write in paragraphs and cover these points clearly. You can also start with the title and date, and then explain everything step by step. Marks are given for clarity and structure too, not just format.

Question 5. Can I write dialogues or conversations in a first aid report?

Answer: No. Avoid using any direct speech or quotes like in a story. Reports must be factual. Instead of writing “The trainer said, ‘Always check for breathing,’” write “The trainer explained how to check a person’s breathing before giving help.”
