Do you know where your first aid kit is?

Do you have everything you need in there?

Is everything in date?

Has everything been replenished since you last used it so you’re not caught short?

❇️

We recommend:

Have your first aid kit in the room you use the most ✅

Keep it out of reach of little hands, especially if you keep medication in there ✅

Make sure its all in date ✅

Have a smaller kit for your nappy or day bag so you are never without one ✅

Meeting other new and expectant parents, carers and grandparents is just one of the benefits of attending one of our baby and child first aid classes.

Get a little bit of insight from those already on the journey and a supportive word here or there can truly be pretty impactful, especially if you’re feeling vulnerable.

This weekend we were back at the beautiful in Bobbing.

Don’t forget our baby and child first aid classes come with 2 CPD points and are just 2 hours out of your day!

Scarlet fever is a bacterial illness which mainly affects children – in fact 80% of cases occur in children under 10, with age 2-8 years of age being the most common time to catch the infection.

Scarlet fever is much less common than it once was, but in recent years there have been significant outbreaks, as it is highly contagious.

And it can be a serious illness if not treated properly.

So it’s worth making yourself familiar with the symptoms, as early treatment is advisable.

I was slightly terrified when my little girl developed scarlet fever when she was 6 years old. My favourite book as an older child was Littl...

DID YOU KNOW that the released guidance at the end of last year that advises EVERY HOME AND CAR should carry a first aid kit?

This is inline with what the First Aid Industry Body already advise.

As the UK’s largest provider of Paediatric first aid training provide both a mini and a larger family size kit as well as bleed kits and all other workplace first aid kits.

We have started working with tje amazing to help supply more bleed kits at a community level.

Daniel Baird unfortunately died from catastrophic bleeding after he was the victim of a stabbing at the tender age of 26.

His amazing family are now campaigning to introduce bleed kits in cars, homes and in every workplace and public building, because a life threatening bleed can occur from car accidents or just falling over on the street!

If there were a bleed kit near Daniel he may not have died from his injuries.

We will be introducing how to deal with life threatening bleeds in ALL our workplace training courses moving forward.

To make an enquiry contact us: midkent@minifirstaid.co.uk

The Easter holidays bring with them potentially longer car journeys and if you’ve already done some first aid training, you’ll understand the difference between your child choking and gagging.

In first aid we talk about PREVENTION as much as possible.

We need to be realistic of course but this post just might help in some small way.

Hoppy Easter Holidays 👌🏻

It’s World Autism Awareness Day…

Not all signs are obvious.

Some are quiet, subtle and easy to miss when you’re running on little sleep and just trying to get through the day.

As parents, we’re constantly told “every child develops at their own pace”, and that’s true.

But it’s also okay to notice when something feels different.

Autism can present in many ways, especially in young children, and early signs aren’t always obvious.

Some things to gently look out for include:

❇️ Not responding to their name
❇️ Limited or no eye contact
❇️ Not smiling back when you smile at them
❇️ Becoming very upset by certain sounds, smells or textures
❇️ Repetitive movements like hand flapping, rocking or finger flicking
❇️ Delayed speech or talking less than other children their age
❇️ Less interest in pretend play
❇️ Repeating the same words or phrases
❇️ Seeing one or even a few of these signs doesn’t automatically mean a child is autistic, but noticing patterns over time is important.

Trust your instincts.

You know your child better than anyone.

If you do have concerns, you’re never wasting anyone’s time by asking for advice. Speaking to your health visitor, GP or special educational needs (SENCO) staff at your child’s school can help you get reassurance or the right support early on.

At Mini First Aid, we’re here to give you confidence, not just in emergencies, but in understanding your child and knowing when to seek help.

You’re doing an amazing job
