Evenin' all,



I want to add some images to my first aid training - to ensure people are prepared for what they may face and to help bring a sense of reality to my courses.



I've had a look at the images on First Aid Cafe, on istock and googled various first aid images.  But I'm struggling to find any that really do the trick.  I'm specifically looking for serious blisters from burns, open fractures, dislocations etc.  I happy to pay a nominal fee for the right images...



Can anyone recommend a source please? Or anyone have any they are prepared to share?



Thanks all,

N

Hiya,

I usually go onto Google & tap in what I want, click Images & there's usually an array of cringing Pics to maybe meet your needs!

Hope it helps.

Thanks: 1 times
There is a chain of thought that you should not show extreme images as the mind tends to blank them out. Images should of course be realistic by maybe depicts typical not extreme examples of injuries.

I agree that photos can add some realism and help with explanations. They do not need to be overly gory or extreme, just simple examples of types of wounds and fractures. As other posts have said you can try a google search using images, I usually find that the resolution is hit and miss so don't always work when bigger than a postage stamp!



I got a few images from a website called Science photo library. You need to sign up to get the pictures in high res and there are very few that are free. Unfortunately the cost for the paid for images is very very high.



Good luck and if you find a good source then let us all know.
