Thank you to the Flex Physio Practice for another great review😁

“We recently had David come and train a team of Physios on Milton Park and it was a very easy to follow, informative and engaging course. We would definitely recommend him and his team to anyone looking to be first aid trained.”

A great two days at FiNN Homecare delivering L2 Basic First Aid to 20 members of staff. They were such a welcoming group of carers with some great questions. Thank you to Kim for the invite.

Some lovely feedback from a recent session of First Aid for the Brownies.

Hi David

Thanks for doing the first aid session with the Brownies. We felt it was a very successful evening especially considering the large size of our group.

We felt that ypu engaged the Brownies really well, and the session managed to cover all the aspects of the Brownie skills builder badge.

Again, thank you so much. We look forward to seeing you again in 3 years.

There are over 40,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests each year in the UK and that number has been rising. Tragically, less than 1 in 10 people survive.

This , let’s help change that.

Doing CPR and using a defib, could more than double the chance of survival. In just 15 minutes, you can learn how to become a lifesaver with our online training tool, RevivR: https://www.bhf.org.uk/RevivR.

So today we were at the St Nicholas C of E Primary School in East Challow teaching years 5 & 6 students CPR and the Recovery Position. Well done to all those that took part.

We have been at the Charlton Primary School in Wantage for the last two days delivering Restart the Heart training to year 5 students. This involved practicing CPR and the Recovery Position. Well done to all in Year 5.

Located in Wantage, Charlton is a well-established two form entry school, that has been part of the local community since 1964.
