🚑 DON’T LET MOUTH-TO-MOUTH STOP YOU FROM SAVING A LIFE! ❤️

Would you know what to do if someone suddenly collapsed and wasn’t breathing normally?

For some people, the thought of giving rescue breaths can feel frightening or uncomfortable. But here’s something really important to remember: if you can’t or don’t feel able to give rescue breaths, doing chest compressions is far better than doing nothing! 🙌

❤️ Hands-only CPR can help keep someone alive until emergency help arrives.

Here’s what to do if an adult collapses and isn’t breathing normally:

📞 1. Call 999 and follow the call handler’s instructions.

👐 2. Start chest compressions. Push hard and fast in the centre of the chest, aiming for 100–120 compressions per minute.

🚑 3. Keep going until help arrives, the person shows signs of life, or you’re unable to continue.

💡 If you’re trained and willing to give rescue breaths, CPR with chest compressions and rescue breaths is recommended. But if rescue breaths are stopping you from starting, don’t let that hold you back.

The worst thing you can do is nothing. You could be the difference between life and death. 💛

At JMS First Aid Training, we want everyone to feel more confident to act in an emergency. You don’t have to be a medical professional to make a difference.

🚨 WOULD YOUR BUSINESS PASS THE FIRST AID TEST? 🩹

Having a first aid kit on the wall is a great start… but is your business really prepared if someone becomes seriously ill or suffers an injury at work?

📊 The latest UK workplace statistics make sobering reading:

⚠️ 680,000 workers sustained a non-fatal injury at work in Great Britain in 2024/25, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

⚠️ 59,219 non-fatal injuries were reported by employers under RIDDOR during the same period.

Behind every statistic is a real person and the right first aid arrangements can make a difference.

❓ So, does your business have the right first aid training in place?

UK guidance says employers must assess their first aid needs. The right provision depends on factors such as:

🩹 The type of work you do and the risks involved.
👥 The number of employees and your working patterns.
📍 Whether staff work across different sites, remotely or alone.
🚑 The level of first aid cover needed, including appropriately trained first aiders where necessary.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer!

💜 That’s where JMS First Aid Training can help!

We provide practical, engaging, accredited first aid training tailored to your workplace and the people who work there.

From Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) to First Aid at Work (FAW) and specialist courses, we’ll help you find training that suits your setting.

🎉 FUN FACT FRIDAY: Nosebleeds and the myth we’ve all heard! 👃

“Tip your head back!”

It’s advice many of us grew up hearing when someone had a nosebleed. But did you know it’s actually the wrong thing to do?

Tilting your head backwards can cause blood to run down your throat, making you feel sick and potentially causing you to choke.

So, what should you do instead?

🩹 Sit down and lean forwards.

🩹 Pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils.

🩹 Keep the pressure on for 10–15 minutes. No peeking!

Most nosebleeds stop with these simple steps. If it hasn’t stopped after 10–15 minutes of continuous pressure, seek urgent medical advice.

Have you been told to tip your head back before? You’re definitely not alone!

At JMS First Aid Training, we love busting first aid myths and sharing practical knowledge that could help someone when it matters.

🚌 Allergy training isn’t just for schools! 🩹

This week, we’re out and about teaching bus drivers how to recognise and respond to an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis.

Because allergies don’t just happen in classrooms. They can happen anywhere at work, on public transport, out shopping or on the school run.

As a licensed trainer with Anaphylaxis UK, JMS First Aid Training delivers practical, engaging allergy training to help people recognise the signs of an allergic reaction and understand how to respond in an emergency.

Whether you’re a bus driver, teacher, childcare professional or work in another setting, knowing what to do could make a real difference when someone needs help.

Who in your workplace could benefit from allergy training? Get in touch with JMS First Aid Training to find out how we can bring training to your team.

🚑 Have you been watching Emergency 24/7 on BBC?

Episode 3 is a real eye-opener for anyone interested in first aid! 👀

The episode features a man who suffers severe burns, and it shows just how important a quick response can be. ❤️‍🩹

👏 His neighbours stepped in straight away, helping to cool his burns with cold water for over 20 minutes while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. A fantastic example of how people around us can make a real difference in an emergency!

The episode also gives an insight into how hospital teams assess burns and calculate the percentage of the body affected. 🔥

💡 Did you know?
🩹 Burns should be cooled with cool or lukewarm running water for 20 minutes.
🚫 Never use ice, butter or creams on a burn.
👕 Remove clothing or jewellery near the burn unless it is stuck to the skin.
🚑 Call 999 for serious burns and follow the call handler’s advice.

At JMS First Aid Training, we believe real-life examples like this show why first aid knowledge is so important. You never know when someone might need your help!

🚜 FARMERSAid – BE PREPARED, BECAUSE EVERY SECOND COUNTS! 🩹

Have you heard about FarmersAid from RABI, the farming charity? It’s a fantastic initiative designed to help farmers and farm workers respond to serious accidents when every second matters.

Farming comes with unique risks, from machinery accidents and crush injuries to severe bleeding, livestock injuries and falls from height. And when you’re working in a rural location, getting emergency help to the scene can take time.

In fact, farming accounts for around 20% of UK workplace fatalities, despite employing just 1% of the workforce. These are sobering figures that highlight why being prepared is so important. 💚

📱 What is FarmersAid?
FarmersAid is a free smartphone app providing step-by-step guidance for serious on-farm accidents while emergency services are on their way. It’s designed to help people take action during those critical first minutes.

But remember, the app does not replace calling 999 or the value of practical first aid training.

👩‍🌾 How can first aid training help farmers?
Knowing what to do in an emergency can make a real difference. Practical training can help you:
🩸 Recognise and respond to life-threatening bleeding.
🚜 Understand how to respond to serious injuries and accidents.
❤️ Recognise when someone needs urgent help and provide appropriate first aid.
🧠 Build confidence to act under pressure.
🤝 Help protect yourself, your family, colleagues and others working on the farm.

At JMS First Aid Training, we know that one size doesn’t fit all.

We offer accredited first aid courses that can be adapted to your workplace and the risks you face. We can deliver training at your premises, helping make learning relevant to your working environment, rather than just teaching from a classroom.

Whether you’re a farmer, employ farm workers or work in the agricultural industry, let’s make first aid preparedness part of farm safety.

📩 Get in touch with JMS First Aid Training to discuss the right course for your needs.

Because being prepared could help save a life. 💜💛
