Add first aid and basic medical care to the national curriculum
All children should have first aid taught to them during school, also basic medical care such as wound dressing, otc medicines, self treating simple conditions, triage and when to seek further medical care and the correct path (GP, pharmacy, hospital)
Not only would this save lives with many more people being CPR trained, it would also help funnel people into the NHS in the correct manner, fewer wasted hospital appointments where a GP or pharmacist could have intervened and also fewer deaths where rapid treatment is required (sepsis, stroke etc) this could easily be taught by teachers who frankly should all be trained in this stuff too.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government's new Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education curriculum requires that all students be taught first aid in primary and secondary schools. In primary schools this includes dealing with common injuries and how to contact the emergency services if necessary, and in secondary schools it includes life-saving skills, including CPR.
