First aid training doesn’t need to be complicated.

It just needs to leave people knowing what to do when something goes wrong.

That’s really the whole point.

Someone collapses.

Someone is choking.

Someone has a serious bleed.

In that moment, nobody cares how impressive the PowerPoint was.

They care whether someone in the room can actually help.

Our first aid courses are practical, straightforward and designed to build confidence, not just get people through a certificate.

If you’ve got staff who need training, or certificates coming up for renewal, we’ve got new course dates available now.

You can see the available dates and book here:

And if you’re not sure which course you actually need, just send us a message.

We’ll happily point you in the right direction.

First aid training is one of those things most people don’t think about much.

Until something actually happens.

Someone collapses at work.

Someone starts choking.

A colleague cuts themselves badly.

And suddenly the person standing next to them is the first aider.

That’s why I’ve never thought first aid training should just be about getting people through a course and handing over a certificate at the end.

The real question is much simpler:

Would they actually know what to do if it happened tomorrow?

That comes from practising things properly.

Asking questions.

Making mistakes in a safe environment.

And getting comfortable enough with the basics that, when something does happen, they don’t just freeze.

Good first aid training shouldn’t make people feel like medics.

It should make ordinary people feel a bit more confident about dealing with an extraordinary situation.

That’s really the job.

If your workplace first aid training is due for renewal, or you’ve got staff who’ve never been trained, feel free to drop me a message.

Happy to have a chat.

First aid training is one of those things that nobody really thinks about…

until somebody suddenly realises three certificates expire next month.

Then it becomes:

“Who actually needs training?”

“Can we get everyone off shift?”

“Do we send them somewhere or bring a trainer in?”

“And who booked it last time?”

I’ve seen this happen more times than I can count.

The actual training is usually the straightforward bit.

It’s organising it around real people, rotas, sickness, annual leave and everything else that makes life difficult.

Out of interest, who ends up organising first aid training where you work?

Manager? HR? Training lead?

Or just whoever happened to be standing nearest when somebody asked?

Using a defibrillator quickly when discovering a person is not breathing can dramatically increase chance of survival, when used in conjunction with CPR.

Do you know where your nearest defibrillator is located?

One of the national databases you can use to find the nearest one is www.nddb.uk

Find the nearest one to where you live/work

This site shows the position of all defibrillators registered via the NDDB, or via the Community Heartbeat Trust Governance database, WebNos. Data from WebNos is validated and dynamic and is updated daily, showing if the defibrillator is operational or not.

👂 Heard this before?

If you have, there is a high chance you should have done something, maybe you did, in the end.

In a medical emergency many people do not do anything.

Why is this?

➡️ Lack of knowledge or confusion about what to do
➡️ Believing commonly recited tropes about getting sued
➡️ Lack of Confidence in stepping forward
➡️ Letting Panic and Fear Overwhelm and Immobilise them

You want and should be as useful as possible in a medical emergency, as it is often the case (cardiac arrest is a great example) that every second is crucial. An ambulance is minutes away, but you are right there.

We can motivate even the wettest blanket or wilting flower to step forward with confidence and learn potentially life-saving first aid skills such as cpr, treatment of choking, recovery position and treatment of bleeding.

We guarantee to put you out of your comfort zone and you may feel uncomfortable, but there is no achievement or progress in life otherwise.

What you will come away with is a set of skills that could one day be the difference.
