💧⚡While water and electrics aren’t a great combination, AEDs are designed to be safe in these situations.

A few things to remember:
- Just make sure the skin where the pads go is quickly dried
- if the person is lying in a puddle, move them to a drier spot before you begin.

❤️ In a cardiac emergency, every second counts. Knowing how to perform CPR could make all the difference, and even if you’ve never been trained, you CAN still help!

A handy visual to remind you of the steps to effectively perform CPR on an adult.
1️⃣ Call 999 immediately
2️⃣ place two hands in the centre of their chest
3️⃣ push down hard and fast - 30 compressions
4️⃣ pushing down one third (5-6cm)
5️⃣ give two breaths
6️⃣ repeat

⚠ If you are dealing with a drowning victim, start with 5 breaths

Aspirin is useful for more than just headaches!

In a heart attack, giving the casualty Aspirin to slowly chew, can help reduce further damage while you wait for emergency help.

What to do:
📞 Call 999 immediately
🪑 Sit them down (the W-position is ideal)
😌 Reassure them and help reduce stress
💊 Give Aspirin to chew if available & safe to do so

Knowing this simple step could save a life ❤️

Choking: What to Do – Quickly and Confidently

A simple rule to remember:
🔴 Loud & red? Let them cough ahead.
🔵 Silent & blue? They need help from you.

If someone can cough, they’re breathing — encourage them to keep coughing.
If they’re silent or struggling:

Adults & children over 1:
- Stand behind and slightly to the side
- Lean them forward and support their chest
- Give 5 sharp back blows
- If it doesn’t clear, give 5 abdominal thrusts (pull in and up)
- Repeat up to 5 of each
- Still choking? Call 999
- If they become unresponsive, begin CPR

Babies under 1:
- Lay them face-down along your thigh → 5 back blows
- Turn them face-up → 5 chest thrusts using two fingers

If the blockage remains, call 999 straight away
Once the object is removed, always have them checked by a medical professional.

💡Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem. The person will be unconscious. Call 999 and start CPR.

💡Heart attack is a circulation problem. The person will probably be conscious. Call 999. Keep them calm.

Do you know the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest?
Arm yourself with the knowledge and confidence to save a life!

Chest pain can be frightening – and it’s a situation where knowing what to do could save a life.

Here’s what you need to remember:
✅ Call 999 immediately if you suspect a heart attack.
✅ Encourage the person to sit down in the W position and stay calm – reassure them while help is on the way.
✅ Loosen tight clothing to make them more comfortable.
✅ If available, help them take their medication (such as GTN spray or aspirin, if prescribed).
✅ Be ready to start CPR if they collapse and become unresponsive.

Learning first aid gives you the confidence to act quickly and effectively in moments like these.

🚑 Knowing how to place someone in the recovery position could save a life.

Here are the key points to remember:

✅ DO
• Check for breathing first: Make sure the casualty is breathing normally before placing them in the recovery position. If they’re not breathing, start CPR.
• Keep the airway open: Gently tilt the head back once they’re in position to ensure the airway stays clear.
• Support the neck and spine when rolling: Roll the casualty onto their side as one smooth, controlled movement.
• Bend the top leg: Position the upper leg at a right angle to stabilise the casualty and prevent them from rolling onto their stomach.
• Monitor their breathing continuously: Stay with them and keep reassessing their breathing until help arrives.

❌ DON’T
• Don’t use the recovery position for someone who isn’t breathing: Unresponsive and not breathing? Go straight into CPR.
• Don’t put anything in their mouth: Never attempt to “clear the airway” with your fingers unless something is clearly visible.
• Don’t leave them unattended: Conditions can change quickly—always stay close.
• Don’t force limbs into place: If there’s obvious injury or resistance, adjust the technique gently and carefully.
• Don’t forget to call 999: If someone is unresponsive—even if they’re breathing—emergency help is always required.
