IF SOMEONE IS UNCONSCIOUS AND BREATHING PUT THEM IN THE RECOVERY POSITION Place the arm furthest from you at right angles to their body. Take the arm nearest to you and place it across the persons chest. Get hold of the near leg, just above the knee, and pull it up, keeping the foot flat on the ground. Keep hold of the near leg just above the knee, and while supporting the persons neck and shoulder, roll them away from you, and onto their side. The persons face should be pointing towards the ground. Open their airway by tilting their head back and lifting the chin. This will make sure they can breathe easily. Make sure that both the hip and the knee of their upper leg are bent at right angles. DIAL TRIPLE ZERO (000) AND ASK FOR AN AMBULANCE Stay with them until the ambulance arrives
