Wikipedia:WikiProject First aid

Goals and Scope
Goal: To create, improve and expand Wikipedia's first aid related articles.

Scope: First aid articles which would not be more appropriate in the medicine wikiproject or the WikiProject_Medicine/Emergency_medicine_and_EMS_task_force.

Statement: As first aid trainers, we see a need for articles relating to this subject to be more organised. There are many articles in existence, but many have serious problems, both stylistically and factually (see below for details of individual articles). Many first aid articles contain how-tos not appropriate for an encyclopedia.

How to help
A lot of work can be done to improve our first aid articles without knowledge of first aid:
 * Use Manual of Style (medicine-related articles) for guidance on article format (as a suggestion, not a rule).
 * Remove howtos which are prevalent throughout Wikipedia's first aid articles, but feel free to move then to Wikibooks, where howtos are allowed.
 * Add articles to the section below. Use template    on article talk pages.
 * Improve structure, grammar
 * When in doubt, research! There's a lot of free information on the web on first aid.  But be very careful about making unverified claims - its important not to spread incorrect information on first aid, especially on serious topics such as CPR or Tourniquets.

List of interested users
