During a raid, hold the ‘Q’ button and select the healing item. Now hold the fire button to heal yourself, or the alt fire button to heal the humans in Arc Raiders. Yes, you can heal allies and enemy players.
However, you can use healing items directly from the backpack as well, without keeping them in the quick slot. But for that, you must open the loadout by pressing the inventory button. Once you are in the bag, click on the healing item, then equip it. Moreover, there are items like Bandages and Herbal Bandages that you can craft while in a raid.
