🌟 Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace
🗓️ February 8th & 15th – Limited Spaces

Workplace mental health isn’t just a “nice to have” anymore — it’s a business essential.

Recent data released shows a clear trend:

- Stress, depression and anxiety remain the leading causes of long‑term workplace absence.
- Employees now average 9.4 days of sickness absence per year, the highest in a decade.
- Nearly 15% of working‑age adults are living with a long‑term mental‑health condition.

These numbers aren’t just statistics — they’re people. Colleagues. Teams. Workplaces under pressure.

If you want to create a safer, healthier, more supportive environment for your staff, investing in mental‑health training is one of the most powerful steps you can take.

Interesting read on pursed lip breathing ...

The College has a new publication in the Journal of International Paramedic Practice. Each edition, JIPP asks CoROM to submit an article on a topic related to remote and offshore medicine. This time, it is on Pursed-lip Breathing and why Remote Medics need to be good at this.

Thanks to Aebhric OKelly for creating this journal article.
