I am delighted to announce that Mini First Aid Hull & East Riding has expanded its dedicated team of trainers, and I’m pleased to introduce our newest recruit, Karen.

I have known Karen for more than 15 years since she moved in next door and asked to borrow an extension lead to cut her grass and a lasting friendship began from there.

Karen brings with her many years of teaching and training experience. She spent over 10 years working with Humber Mental Health and a further 10 years with the British Heart Foundation before following her passion for teaching first aid.

Karen is also a proud mother of two children, both of whom are pursuing careers in teaching and nursing.

In addition to her professional career, Karen has dedicated more than 35 years to the Scouting movement, supporting both children and adults across a wide range of sections and leadership roles. She has shared her first aid knowledge with children as young as four and has also taught teenagers through the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

Her commitment to teaching life-saving skills reflects her passion for empowering others with practical knowledge that can genuinely make a difference in an emergency.

I am absolutely thrilled to welcome Karen to the Mini First Aid Hull & East Riding team and look forward to the experience, enthusiasm, and expertise she will bring to our learners and community.

A woman is significantly less likely to receive CPR in an emergency than a man. Let that sink in.

Research shows women are up to 27% less likely to be helped by a bystander. Why? Because people worry about touching breasts, removing clothing, or “getting it wrong.”

But in a cardiac arrest, doing something is always better than doing nothing. CPR can be performed over clothing (it's best to remove thick coats or overclothes), defibrillator pads must go on bare skin, which is where the hesitation comes in when it comes to using an AED on a woman.

This hesitation is costing lives.

At Mini First Aid, we tackle this head-on. Our training includes female manikins with breasts, so you can practise confidently, understand correct hand placement, and learn exactly what to do, without fear or uncertainty.

Because first aid should work for everyone! Book a class today and gain the confidence to act when it matters most.

One of the biggest causes of heat exhaustion or heat stroke is putting the hood up in your pram and shading them with a blanket.

🔥 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 – 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐄𝐗𝐇𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 & 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄 🔥

☀️ As the temperature rises, it’s vital to spot early signs of heat-related illness – in yourself and others.

💡 Signs of heat illness can look different on different skin tones — don’t rely on redness or flushing. Watch for changes in behaviour, energy, and breathing.

⸻

🥵 HEAT EXHAUSTION – Look Out For:

✅ Pale, clammy or sweaty skin (may feel cool or damp rather than visibly pale)
✅ Headache, dizziness, or nausea
✅ Muscle cramps
✅ Fast breathing or heartbeat
✅ Extreme tiredness or weakness
👧🏾 Children may become floppy, sleepy or irritable

⸻

💧 What to Do:
1. Move to a cool, shaded place
2. Lie them down and raise their feet slightly
3. Offer water or a rehydration drink
4. Cool their skin – use a spray, sponge, or fan
5. Apply cold packs to the armpits or neck (wrapped in a cloth)
6. Stay with them – they should feel better within 30 minutes

🟢 If they recover in 30 minutes, it’s usually not serious.

⸻

🚨 Call 999 – Signs of HEATSTROKE:

❌ No improvement after 30 minutes
❌ Hot, dry, or red-feeling skin (even if not visibly red)
❌ Confusion, seizures, or collapsing
❌ Very high body temperature
❌ Unconscious or unresponsive

➡️ If unconscious, place in the recovery position while waiting for emergency help.

⸻

💡 Stay Safe in the Heat – For Everyone:

✔️ Drink plenty of fluids
✔️ Wear light, loose-fitting clothes that suit your comfort
✔️ Avoid being outside during peak heat (11am–3pm)
✔️ Keep indoor spaces cool – use curtains, fans or ventilation
✔️ Check on neighbours, especially those living alone or at higher risk
