❌Myth!
✅ FACT: No one chooses to develop diabetes.
This World DiabetesDay we’re debunking the myths to break the Stigmas.

👉 Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition — nothing to do with diet or lifestyle.
👉 Type 2 diabetes is influenced by a mix of factors including genetics, age, family history, ethnicity, and lifestyle. It is never as simple as personal blame.

Stigma stops people asking for help, so let’s share what to look for. Early recognition saves lives.

Spot the signs:
⚠️ Excessive thirst
⚠️ Needing to p*e more often
⚠️ Unexplained weight loss
⚠️ Extreme tiredness
⚠️ Slow-healing wounds
⚠️ Blurred vision
⚠️ Recurrent infections

Early recognition = better outcomes.

Support, not judgement!

🐄 COWS – Getting a Response from an unconscious casualty

When checking for response as part of your DRSABCD assessment, use the simple acronym COWS to guide you:
👉 C – Can you hear me?
Speak clearly and loudly. Try calling their name if you know it.
👉 O – Open your eyes.
Ask them to open their eyes – this helps identify if they’re conscious or reacting to voice.
👉 W – What’s your name?
A responsive person should be able to give basic details like their name.
👉 S – Squeeze my hand.
If they can’t speak, ask for a physical response such as squeezing your hand.

💡 Why it matters:
Using COWS helps you quickly assess how responsive someone is, guiding your next steps in DRSABCD – whether they need further help, recovery position, or CPR.

📆 What is Annual Refresher training?

Although a Full workplace first aid qualification lasts for 3 years, it is recommended that an annual refresher training course are done to keep your skills up to date.

The training lasts 2-3 hours and includes: action in an emergency, CPR and defibrillator use, seizures, wounds, bleeding and shock. It’s perfect for refreshing those skills and keeping first aiders prepared and confident.

👉 Get in touch if you are due a refresher course

⚠️ Concussion is Serious – Don’t Ignore It

A concussion isn’t always obvious straight away… especially in babies + children.
Keep an eye on them for several days after a head bump – changes in normal behaviour can be a key warning sign.

Head bumps in babies under 1 year old should always be checked by a medical professional.

🚑 Call 999 if they have ANY of the following:
- not waking up / struggling to stay awake
- seizure / fitting
- fall from > 1 metre or 5 stairs
- clear fluid from ears/nose
- bleeding from ears or bruising behind ears
- black eye with no direct eye injury
- numbness / weakness in any part of the body
- problems with balance, vision, hearing, speaking, writing or understanding
- hit their head at sp*ed (car impact, bike collision, diving injury)
- something embedded in the head or a dent

Most concussions can be managed at home – but if concussion is suspected, get medical advice.

🧠 Learning First Aid means you’re prepared when it matters.
If you want to feel confident in these situations, message us to join our next First Aid course.

💨 Rescue breaths save lives – especially in children + drowning.

Children rarely arrest because of a heart issue.
It’s almost always because they stop breathing first → then cardiac arrest.
So 5 rescue breaths BEFORE compressions is vital.

➡️ This applies to:
• Children 1+
• Infants 0–1
• Drowning victims

➡️ Adults are different – they often still have oxygen in their system, so compression only CPR can still work if they’re unknown to you.

➡️ Sequence:
5 rescue breaths → 30 compressions → 2 breaths → 30 compressions

➡️ Technique:
Child/Adult: tilt head back, pinch nose, seal mouth, slow breath, watch chest rise.
Infant: neutral head, seal mouth over mouth + nose, gentle slow breath.

👉 Save this reminder. One day it could save a life.

❌ It is a myth - it actually stops it. The heart then restarts itself.

An AED delivers a controlled electric shock to reset an abnormal rhythm so the heart can beat normally again.

If someone’s heart has completely stopped, an AED won’t start it — but CPR keeps oxygen flowing until medical help arrives.

💡 Remember:
- Use an AED as soon as possible if someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally.
- Follow its voice prompts — it’s simple, safe, and could save a life.
- Combine CPR + AED = the best chance of survival.

You don’t need to be an expert — you just need to act.
