If you are the only person around when someone goes into cardiac arrest, would you be able to keep that person alive for the 7-12 minutes it could take for an ambulance to respond to the emergency call?

Do you know the different hand positions and depths of compression required for babies, young children, and adults?

If the answer to these questions is “no” or “I’m not sure”, then we can help!

In our first aid classes, we have life-sized mannequins for you to practise the right techniques for all ages, with one of our expert trainers on-hand to help you get it just right.

Be prepared. Learn CPR. Then if you are ever called upon, there will be no guesswork or panic.

It is estimated that there are around 3,000 - 4,000 cases of Lyme Disease each year in the UK - would you know what symptoms to look for in yourself or your child?

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which can be transmitted to humans from infected tick bites. Knowing how to spot the signs of Lyme disease and getting early treatment is important in mitigating severe complications such as nerve and heart problems and long-term post-infection fatigue.

Symptoms include:

- A round or oval bull’s eye like rash around the bite which can appear up to 3 months after an infected bite. The rash is usually flat or slightly raised, and pink, red or purple - on darker skin it may resemble a bruise. It may get bigger over several days or weeks, and can appear on different parts of the body.
-,A high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery.
- A headache.
- Muscle and joint pain.
- Tiredness and loss of energy.
- Neck stiffness.

If you suspect Lyme disease, see your GP as soon as possible. It’s much easier to treat if it is diagnosed early.

But first - prevention! Take steps to avoid tick bites in the first place and learn how to remove and treat tick bites in the event of finding one on you or your child.

As the weather improves and we finally get outdoors and enjoy those country walks, make sure you are prepared for ticks!

This week has been Tick Bite Prevention Week, raising awareness about Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne infectious disease in the northern hemisphere.

Left untreated, Lyme Disease infection can spread anywhere in the body leading to a large range of symptoms. People can develop issues with their endocrine and neurological systems and experience musculoskeletal, cardiac, dermatological and neuropsychiatric problems.*

Lyme disease is endemic in many parts of the United Kingdom, particularly in woodland or heath-land areas, but disease-carrying ticks can also be found in cities and gardens so we all must know how to spot the signs and symptoms of Lyme Disease.
