The Resuscitation Council UK and European Resuscitation Council have recently moved to a standardised ABCDE approach.

To ensure we’re providing the best care, we’ve integrated these tweaks into our updated DR ABCDE protocol:

• Danger
• Response
• Catastrophic Bleeding
• Airway
• Breathing
• Circulation
• Disability
• Exposure

You might notice that D and E are slightly different or new, depending on the level of training you've completed.

At Disability for example, we're considering more closely why someone needs help from a neurological point of view, not just finding a problem and fixing it. Understanding the "why" has always been important to us as life savers.

Want to put it into practice? Reading about it is one thing; muscle memory is another. If you're ready to update your hands-on life saving skills in line with the latest guidelines, just get in touch!

🚨 Major Update: Stronger protections for children with allergies in school.

The Department for Education has announced a landmark shift in how allergies are managed in UK schools. Benedict's Law, is set to come into force in September 2026 after a consultation period.

What does this mean for schools?

✅ Spare AAI Pens: Schools must stock spare adrenaline auto-injectors.
✅ Compulsory Training: All staff must receive training on symptom recognition and emergency response.
✅ Dedicated Policies: Every school must have a robust allergy management policy and Individual Healthcare Plans (IHPs).

Lots of schools are already undertaking the necessary training to keep children safe. This guidance will help standardise practise and point to a collection of reliable resources for teachers to use.

You can read more about Benedict's Law here:

And just get in touch about how we can help with evidence based First Aid training! 👋

Life-saving allergy pens must be stocked by schools for the first time under new plans announced today.

They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We shall remember them.
