🧤 Myth buster: “Shivering means someone is warming up”

❌ MYTH
Shivering isn’t a sign of recovery.

✅ FACT
Shivering means the body is trying to generate heat.
If shivering becomes violent or stops, it’s a medical emergency.

🚨 Sepsis: Know the Signs. Act Fast. 🚨
As a first aid instructor, I can’t stress this enough, sepsis is a medical emergency and it can be missed.

It’s the body’s extreme reaction to an infection and can develop quickly from things like chest infections, UTIs, wounds, or flu.

⚠️ Watch for:
• Fever or very low temperature
• Fast breathing or heart rate
• Confusion or extreme drowsiness
• Severe pain or feeling very unwell
• Pale, cold, clammy skin
• Reduced urine output

⏱️ Early treatment saves lives.
If something feels “not right,” seek urgent medical help and say you’re worried about sepsis.

👉 Please share, awareness saves lives.

A big shout-out to the dedicated teaching staff who completed their Paediatric First Aid training today! 👶📚
Your classrooms are brighter because you’re prepared, not just to teach, but to protect.
From bumps and bruises to emergency responses, you’ve shown such care, focus, and determination to keep your little learners safe.
Thank you for going the extra mile for the children in your care. Your commitment truly makes a difference. 💚⛑️

Well done to the fantastic group who wrapped up their 3-day First Aid at Work course yesterday!
You brought energy, enthusiasm, and just the right amount of questionable acting during our scenarios 😄but you also brought commitment.
And that matters, because first aid isn’t just a skill… it’s the confidence to step forward when someone else can’t.

You’ve all earned that confidence.
Great work, team, your workplaces are safer because of you! 💚⛑️

⚠️FAKE BLOOD AND SENARIOS⚠️
Last Sunday I spent an epic CPD day with my wonderful Wirral Community First Responder team, thanks to the legends at the Merseyside Police Protective Training Unit 🚓🚑

We got thrown into seriously realistic trauma and medical scenarios, I’m talking fake blood everywhere, prosthetic injuries that looked too real, and sound effects dramatic enough to rival a film set. 🎬🩸

As someone who’s usually the one doing the teaching, it was actually brilliant to be the student for once… even if it meant being absolutely put through my paces. Tested? YES. Slightly terrified? Maybe. Loved every second? 100%! 😂

Honestly, it was the BEST day, I learned loads, laughed loads, and came home looking like I’d walked straight off the set of a disaster movie.

Bring on the next one! 💪😄 Wirral Community First Responders merseysidepolice

Huge Congratulations to the Team!
As your First Aid Instructor over the last three days, I couldn’t be more proud of the hard work, focus, and dedication every single one of you put into the First Aid at Work course.

From tackling practical scenarios to mastering essential life-saving skills, you all showed real commitment and teamwork. It’s been a pleasure watching your confidence grow each day and you should be incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved.

You are now equipped with the knowledge to make a real difference when it matters most. Well done, team! 💚👏
Stay confident, stay prepared, and keep those skills sharp!

⛑️What a Day! ⛑️

Massive well done to everyone who joined today’s First Aid training session! 👏
We had a day full of laughs, learning, and maybe a few questionable bandaging techniques at first, but by the end, you all smashed it.

There’s nothing better than seeing a team come together, build confidence, and pick up life-saving skills along the way. ❤️

We might joke, we might laugh, but the truth is, First Aid saves lives. Every skill you learned today could make the difference in an emergency, for a colleague, a friend, or even a loved one. 🫶

So, well done team! You didn’t just pass a course… you became someone’s potential hero. 👏💚⛑️
