We’ve had an amazing 3 days at the North Hants Golf Club. Such a great bunch people and they’ve made great first aiders. Our courses are tailor made so we know that they can deal with emergencies in their specific environment. Great job! 👏

What a great cause for us to support!

Look after your hearts this Valentine’s Day ❤️

I should have posted this weeks ago but Christmas kind of got in the way. But I want to give a massive shoutout to Paul Markham from Green Box First Aid Training who delivered a brand new defibrillator battery to me just before Christmas. Having just been to check up on the AED at Englefield Green’s Barley Mow pub, his donation came in the nick of time and I am truly grateful that he helped me out with this incredibly expensive item which I have committed to maintain for the benefit of our community 🙏🏼

I am due to receive my First Aid refresher training with Green Box in April - this is in-the-workplace training and I cannot recommend it highly enough. When I went for my initial training I was still quite raw from my own husband’s cardiac arrest which prompted my crowdfunding campaign to install 24/7 access community defibrillators. But he handled this with sensitivity and I can honestly say it’s the best training I’ve ever had! ❤️

Whilst I’m on the gratitude train, a reminder that the actual defibrillator unit at the Barley Mow was donated by the brilliant people at Thames Valley Heartbeat. They’re a small, volunteer run charity whose raison d’etre is purely to raise funds for defibrillators to be installed within communities. So whilst your donations to my crowdfunding appeal paid for the cabinet, TVH provided the AED, so please support them in any way you can to continue doing great things for communities like ours. As they say, we hope you’ll never need it…

When performing CPR or using a defibrillator, it’s important to remove a woman’s bra to ensure direct access to the chest. This helps provide effective chest compressions and allows for proper pad placement during defibrillation.

At Green Box First Aid training, we give you the opportunity to practice cutting off a bra on CPR manikins, making the training more realistic and preparing you for any situation. Real-world practice helps ensure you’re ready to act quickly and effectively when every second counts.

🚨 Don't Be Afraid to Use a Defibrillator – It Could Save a Life! 🚨
Did you know that public access defibrillators are only being used in 1 in 10 cardiac arrests—even when they’re available? New research from the British Cardiovascular Society highlights a worrying statistic, and the reason is often fear of using the device.

💡 The truth? You can’t do any harm with a defibrillator – but you CAN save a life. These devices are designed to be simple, safe, and guide you every step of the way.
Our latest blog explains why you should never hesitate to use one in an emergency. 💚👇

🚨⛳ Our New First Aid Courses for Golf Clubs - Why First Aid Training is Essential for Golf Club Staff ⛳🚨

A recent survey highlights the importance of being prepared for emergencies on the golf course:

🏌️‍♂️ 33,000 active golfers have been hospitalised due to injuries sustained on the course—1 in 5 of those injuries were severe or life-threatening.
🕒 Heart attacks most commonly occur between 6-11 am, right when most golfers are on the green.
📊 The average golfer's age matches the population most at risk of medical emergencies.
⏱️ Immediate response is critical: chances of survival with defibrillation drop by 7-10% each minute, yet ambulance response times to remote areas on courses can be delayed.

✅ An AED can increase survival rates from under 8% to over 75%!

Equip your team with the skills they need to save lives:
✔️ CPR & AED training
✔️ Emergency response for injuries and illnesses
✔️ Tailored for golf club environments

📅 Book now to schedule on-site training. Together, let’s keep golfers safe on and off the course. 🏌️‍♀️💚
