Fake blood? Fun.
Real blood? Time to act. 👻

Halloween’s the one night we don’t mind a bit of fake blood — but when it’s real, knowing what to do matters.

🩹 Apply firm, direct pressure to the wound.
⬆️ If possible, raise the injured area above the heart.
🚑 Keep pressure until the bleeding stops or help arrives.
It’s simple, calm action that can save a life — no magic potion required.

Because confidence in first aid isn’t scary… it’s strength. 💚

💚 Restart a Heart Day – “Call. Push. Shock.”

When someone’s heart stops, every second counts.
Quick CPR and using a defibrillator (AED) can mean the difference between life and death.

Ever wondered what actually happens to the heart when an AED is used?

It’s a great reminder of why those three steps — Call. Push. Shock. — matter so much.

I’m sure we’ll be talking about this today at the Allens Training Conference!

Still working today, but that ocean view can be distracting 🌞🌊

Caught up with The Boss himself — Jim Allen (retired… sort of 😉).

So good to have a chat with the legend behind Allens Training and see his passion for quality training is still as strong as ever.
