Last night we delivered a twilight session for the amazing team at Base-Dance Performing Arts Academy in Burscough.

We delivered an Accredited and Regulated Level 3 Paediatric emergency first aid course to help them keep their students safe whilst on site. We also helped to train them on the fantastic defibrillator that they have recently acquired for their studio by giving their teachers chance to use training AEDs in a safe environment to build confidence in acting fast.

This was also another example of local Burscough based companies keeping business local 💙 💃

💙 World Autism Awareness Day 2026 💙

At Paradigm First Aid, we proudly acknowledge World Autism Awareness Day on 2nd April 2026.

When I chose the name “Paradigm,” I was drawn to the meaning: “a distinct set of concepts and thought patterns.” This reflects not only how many brains, including autistic brains, work, but also how I approach First Aid training. I see it as teaching a set of paradigms—structured, practical ways of thinking that prepare people to respond confidently in emergencies.

I have never had a formal autism diagnosis, as I personally feel a diagnosis is not necessary for me. However, having family members with formal diagnoses helped me understand them—and myself—better. Self-assessment tools I explored also suggested I may be on the autism spectrum.

I see autism as a unique strength—a kind of personal superpower. Research highlights that autistic individuals often have exceptional abilities in areas like focus, pattern recognition, analytical thinking, and creative problem solving. Over the past few years, as understanding of autism has grown, I’ve come to embrace that my brain works differently—and I don’t need to apologise for it. Being honest about who I am tends to help people connect with me authentically.

I can hyper-focus on tasks, analyse data in ways I enjoy, and notice solutions that others might overlook. When I deliver training, I focus on detail and explain the ‘why’ behind things. I don’t easily budge from this way of delivering because I believe it’s the ‘right way’ to do my job. Like everyone, I have weaknesses and challenges too, but my differences are also my strengths—and I wouldn’t change that for the world.

To everyone with their own unique superpowers: keep being you. You are amazing! 🤩

On Thursday night we had the privilege of attending the Red Rose Awards, where I was honoured to be named a finalist for the New Business Award.

While it wasn’t Paradigms name called on the night, being recognised alongside so many inspiring businesses from across Lancashire was a proud moment and a reminder of how much innovation, hard work and ambition exists within our business community.

We were seated at a table with some remarkable people, and we had one award make it back to our table too🥇

Congratulations to all of the incredible winners and fellow finalists — your achievements are well deserved and it was fantastic to celebrate success together.

Running a business is a journey filled with challenges, learning and growth. Moments like this reinforce why we keep pushing forward, striving to improve, and continuing to support the people and organisations we work with.

A huge thank you to the organisers for such a fantastic evening and for recognising businesses that are making a difference.

This week we delivered a 3 day First aid at work course for Jigsaw, Cumbria's Children's Hospice in Carlisle. Before turning up on Wednesday I felt I had to mentally prepare with this being a children’s hospice, however I wish I knew that I didn’t have to.

The team there are super friendly, and made me instantly feel welcome and comfortable. They are an incredible group and I had a lot of fun delivering this course for them all.

Thank you Eden Valley Hospice for making me feel so welcome 🙏 💙 You are a passionate group of people who have a special gift in making people feel comfortable and welcome 💙

Why Paradigm First Aid Training | North West is different 🧠🚑

Before first aid, my background was in education, training, and developing new coaches. One of the core models I taught was Bloom’s Taxonomy – a trusted framework for turning knowledge into real-world skills and behaviours.

Here’s the problem I see in a lot of first aid training ⬇️
Most providers stop at “understand”.
Learners can recall information… but struggle to use it when it really matters.

At Paradigm First Aid Training, Bloom’s Taxonomy is woven into everything we do:

✔️ We apply learning in realistic scenarios
✔️ Learners practise and refine new skills, not just watch them
✔️ We evaluate decisions under pressure
✔️ Peer teaching is used to deepen confidence and competence
✔️ Scenarios are adapted and redesigned to introduce variables you’d actually face in real life

The result?
Training that goes beyond ticking a box — and builds confidence, capability, and calm when it counts.

Because knowing what to do is one thing.
Being able to do it is what saves lives.
