First Aid means you're the first person to help someone.
It's important to go on a proper First Aid course (eg RedCross, St Johns, Meditrain).
(Lessons on this course are not a 1st Aid course, but a taster things you should learn).

A good way to remember what to do is to follow the steps DRSABCD:
Danger - keep you and others safe (eg stop cars before helping someone who's in the road!)
Response - see if the person knows you're there and can communicate 
Send for help - phone 111 or tell someone to get adult help 
Airway - make sure the person's airway is open and not blocked
Breathing - see if they are breathing
Circulation - search for blood and stop the bleeding
Defibrillate - use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
