Life Saving Training

Life Saving Training Award winning Life Saving Training delivers effective, hands-on First Aid and Health & Safety training. It’s great you’ve found us! Would you know what to do?

We teach you simple, memorable ways to manage whole incidents. Award winning Life Saving Training offers effective, hands on, useful First Aid and Health & Safety training and qualifications. Too many people die every day in the UK who could have potentially been saved by a well trained first aider. Those around them don't know what to do in an emergency. The good news is, it's easy to fix. At Life Saving Training we provide you with simple, memorable ways to help you effectively deal with a range of first aid incidents. We start at the beginning and teach you what you need to know to help someone in need. It's simple really. Life Saving Training is a training centre approved, supported and verified by Immediate Temporary Care (ITC) Ltd. We believe the Ofqual and SQA regulated qualifications we offer are the best available. We don’t believe in baffling you with big words and telling you stories! What we do believe in is teaching you what you need to know to help someone in need. We prepare you for situations that arise in the real world and do it in an engaging, interesting and useful way. After all, that’s what first aid training should be – shouldn’t it? We make learning interesting which helps you learn and remember the skills you need. Our courses are dynamic so you’ll get lots of practice dealing with first aid incidents in our safe training environment. Practicing in this way helps make the skills you need automatic, so you’ll know what to do in a real first aid emergency. And that’s what’s important: getting good quality life saving training that gives you the confidence and the skills to help someone in need.

Did you know this week has been stress awareness week?

Why is being aware of stress, talking about it, and crucially - taking action on stress important?

It’s one of the biggest causes of absence from work, with a massive impact on the wellbeing of individuals suffering from stress, on employers and the wider economy.

This year, the theme of the International Stress Management Association is Optimising Employee Wellbeing through Strategic Stress Management:

“A workplace culture that prioritises growth, support, recognition, and psychological safety is not just advantageous - it’s essential. By actively fostering and sustaining such a culture, organisations empower individuals to succeed while reaping the benefits of a healthier, more productive workforce, creating a win-win for employees and the organisation alike.”

So what can we do? A few highlights:

✅ Think beyond box ticking exercises and look closely at workplace culture.
✅ Particularly if you’re a leader, read up on the fantastic research being done in the world on Psychological Safety.
✅ Consider that Mental Health First Aid training should be mandatory, just like Physical First Aid. We can help!
✅ Encourage open conversations without blame, reduce stigma, and help people to feel safe, like they belong and are heard.
✅ Make time to unwind. It might sound a bit cliche, but if you’re not prioritising time for you, start right now.

On that note, we’ll leave you to consider how you’re going to fit in some happy time this weekend. Here’s one of ours from last week - a midweek beach bimble in Northumberland. Bliss. ❤️

Someone’s choking, clutching at their neck and going blue in the face…

Would you know the most up to date, effective way to help save them, and fast? ⏰

Learn how to deal with life threatening problems like choking, if someone’s unresponsive and not breathing, or bleeding… in a systematic, memorable way so you can help with confidence.

Because situations will happen, and no one wants to be the person who just stands there…

At this time of year, there’s a good chance that if you need to give first aid, it could be dark! 🌒

Last weekend our advanced Outdoor First Aid participants got a taste of what that’s like, and they definitely said it added to the challenge!

Pro Tip! Remember to always pack a torch at this time of year and keep one in your car glove box too! 🔦

We’re seeing a lot online about the 'new' defibrillator pad position from the Resuscitation Council UK 2025 Guidelines (the first picture).

The second picture is from the 2021 guidelines — and it shows exactly the same thing.

➡️ This isn’t new.

The picture is from the ALS guidelines - but defibrillator energy doesn't care about what qualifications you have.

The recommended antero-lateral (front–side) pad placement has been the position of choice for many years - one pad placed just below the right collarbone, the other on the left side of the chest, below the armpit.

Alternative positions, such as anterior – posterior (front and back) are also acceptable when the standard placement isn’t practical (for example, with certain medical devices, anatomy and for smaller children).

It’s great to see so much discussion about AED use - let's make sure we're all keeping up to date with evidence based best practice.

Hopefully defibrillator manufacturers will help by improving the diagrams on their pads too...

If you have any questions - just give us a shout!

“I love challenging myself and learning. The bonus with first aid training is that I might actually be able to save someone at some unknown point in the future. Who wouldn't want to make that sort of difference.”

The wise words of one of the fine folks who joined us at the weekend for our more advanced version of Outdoor First Aid.

Designed specifically for people who have completed the course before, who want to develop their skills even further and their ability to manage first aid situations.

From regular Outdoor First Aid to the more advanced, we’re always on a mission to empower our learners through cleverly designed, evidence based training.

Come see what we’re about! 👋
