A good first aider is knowledgeable in basic first aid procedures, remains calm under pressure, communicates effectively with the injured person and emergency services, and demonstrates empathy and compassion towards those in need.
A first aid officer is another term for a qualified first aider. In some institutions, the term first aid officer is given to a person of higher qualification than an occupational first aider, namely Emergency First Responders.
