Recently I realized that I really lack first aid skills, so this is as much to remind myself as to be to of use for you

Thank you for topic, Milla!

Basic first aid skills are good to know for everyone, since we can't tell when they are going to be needed.

This topic brings up couple of questions to me.

1.) Did you receive first aid training at school or similar?

2.) Have you had need for those skills?

Personally I don't remember getting any first aid training at school but Finnish defense forces gives us guys and voluntary gals some basic training in that part.

And no, I haven't had need for those skills, but you never know when you do need them so It's good to remind myself time to time of the basics.

Thank you for the questions Ville-Pekka.

I have had some first aid in university, but not prior that. I have had one or two times that I have used the skills, and gotten help for someone in need. It was just about making a fast diagnosis and then calling the ambulance, though. Mostly it is about staying calm.
