First aid - how to treat wounds?

I'm in Red Cross. And i went through the First Aid course but it was like cramped into 3 days that i've forgotten all about it. A few days back, when two people fell during P.E. Only did i realise that i needed to do some revision. Like how to treaat laceration and all that - practical and theory..you know ankle sprain and all? Can i get a website on how to treat these wounds and stuff - please. I'm a first aider so i should remember all of this so i can help my classmates!!!

1. Reviewing a website will neither necessarily provide the best info, nor stay in your memory well.

I would recommend...
1. A good pocket guide to First Aid you can keep in your kit and review periodically.

2. The First Aid class from the National Safety Council- their class is a bit more in-depth than the Red Cross course is.

3. The Red Cross or similar course.

Classmates? In general, it would be school policy to have an adult help injured students.
