From 2026, the theory test part of learning to drive will include questions on CPR and defibrillators. If you were in an accident or came across one on the road, would you know what to do?

It's not just about ticking a box on a test paper; it's about feeling confident that you would know what to do if you came across an emergency and that you would be able to step in and help.

Drivers are often the first people on the scene of an accident, so it's vital to learn the skills of CPR and using an AED, and nothing teaches these skills better than in-person demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Our 2-hour First Aid Awareness Class for Adults​ ​covers heart attack, CPR, using an AED, stroke,​ ​burns, bleeds, severe allergic reaction, choking, seizures and breaks.​ ​It's informal and gives everyone who attends the skills to respond in an emergency situation.

Come and learn with us, or encourage your teenager who is learning to drive to come and learn with us today - a few hours of learning could save a life.

A high temperature, or fever, is common in young children and usually returns to normal within a few days.

A temperature of 38 degrees celsius is considered high. For best results, use an underarm digital thermometer to take your baby’s temperature.

If your baby is under 3-months old and has a temperature of 38C or higher, you should call 111 for advice.

If your baby is 3-6 months old with a temperature of 39C or higher, you should call 111 for advice.

If your baby is older and/or their temperature lasts for 5 days or more, or if they have a rash as well as a temp or they don’t want to eat or are dehydrated, call 111 for advice.

If you are worried about your baby or child’s temperature and just feel something isn’t right, call 111 or 999. Doctors would rather see a well baby than not see an unwell baby 💚

With Christmas fast approaching and many of us buying toys and gadgets for our children, it's worth a little reminder about one hidden danger that could be in your child's Christmas present, but could also be in everyday items around your home.

When you think of household hazards, things like cleaning products, sharp corners, or hot pans probably spring to mind. But there’s anot...

If you have black or brown skin and take a first aid class where they tell you to look out for blue lips and red skin marks, how do you know what that looks like for your child?

Medical and first aid literature, imagery and teaching has always traditionally been taught with an assumption that you or your child has white skin. But if your child is black or brown, their lips won’t go blue and rashes and burns will look different. And you need to know this information.

All of our trainers undertake diversity training and in our classes, we teach first aid for all skin colours as standard.

No more guesswork. We will talk you through exactly what to look out for no matter what skin tone your child has.

This brilliant review is for our trainer Lell - you’ll get this same teaching wherever you are in the UK.
