ONE DAY COURSES END OF MARCH

First aid training gives you the confidence to stay calm and help when it matters most. Knowing what to do in an emergency means you’re never helpless when someone needs you.

First aid training replaces panic with confidence and uncertainty with action.

Learning first aid means you can step forward calmly when others need support.

WOMEN AND HEART DISEASE
There is a subtle but significant shift in recognising that data across many spheres but especially within medicine have historically and without exception used male subjects to establish accepted medical symptoms and protocols. This short video by Dr Amir Khan addresses some of the unique risk factors, signs and symptoms around female heart disease and heart attacks.

ONE DAY FIRST AID COURSES

Under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations, employers must ensure they have appropriate first-aid cover in place. Having trained first-aid staff helps meet legal responsibilities and ensures employees receive prompt, competent care in an emergency.

BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (CPR)

Start compressions as soon as possible when the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally — don’t delay. 

SPEED: how fast should I push?

Aim for 100–120 compressions per minute (roughly 2 compressions every second).

DEPTH: how deep should I push?

Press down to about 5 to 6 cm (in average adults).

RECOIL: what does this mean?

Make sure all of the pressure is released between each compression. By allowing the chest to return to its normal position before pressing down again helps the heart to refill with blood ready for your next compression.

MINIMISE INTERRUPTIONS: does this mean I have to just keep pushing?

Yes, keep chest compressions going with as few breaks as possible - such as to give rescue breaths (no more than 10 seconds) or swapping with another first aider (a second or two). Someone should be pushing unless a defib, or a health professional (ie paramedic) asks you to stand clear.

The best place to learn how to do this is on a first aid course. www.activefirstaid.co.uk/basic-first-aid

SIMULATION

In first aid education, simulation refers to the use of realistic practice scenarios that mimic real-life emergencies so that learners can apply their skills in a controlled, safe environment. Instead of just reading or talking about what to do, candidates act out situations as though they are happening in real time.

When faced with an actual emergency, candidates who have trained through simulation often respond faster, more confidently, and with clearer judgement
