The skill can heal minor wounds only. When used successfully, it will heal a small amount of Hit Point damage. It can only be used a few times a day. This skill takes a few minutes to use, so it will advance the game clock by a few minutes.

If you use a First Aid kit, you will increase your chance of successfully using this skill. Using a First Aid kit on a person will automatically use your First Aid skill (with a positive modifier) on that person. The supplies in a First Aid kit will eventually run out and the item will be automatically discarded.
