😬 Did you know: nearly half of UK adults have never learned CPR — and around 80% of cardiac arrests happen at home, often to someone you love.

Here's our group getting hands-on with a primary survey and recovery position scenario on a recent Emergency First Aid course, exactly the kind of practical, muscle-memory training that means you won't freeze when it matters.

If it happened in front of you right now, would you know what to do?

We deliver Ofqual-regulated First Aid and Safeguarding training on-site at your workplace, school or venue, hands-on, practical, and led by real specialists.

📍 Covering Greater Manchester, the High Peak, Yorkshire the North West and the Midlands

What does "a sufficient number of first aiders" actually mean?

HSE guidance says employers must provide adequate first aid provision, but "adequate" depends on your:
• Number of employees
• Type of work and level of risk
• Shift patterns and site layout

One-size-fits-all rarely works. We can help you assess your true needs and stay compliant.

In a cardiac emergency, seconds count, yet common worries often lead to hesitation.

Fear of wrong pad placement, uncertainty about age settings, complex instructions, or wondering if the device is ready can stop someone from taking action.

That’s why having the right equipment and confidence makes all the difference.

Features that save lives include:

Pre-connected pads & clear visual diagrams to eliminate placement panic

Adult & pediatric modes to instantly adapt for any patient age

Semi-automatic action to guide you safely step-by-step

At Health and Safety Strategies Ltd, we supply a range of iPAD Defibrillators, designed specifically for intuitive, reliable use when every second matters.

Equipping your workplace or community with an AED is only half the equation. We also provide comprehensive First Aid & AED Training to ensure your team has the hands-on practice needed to act fast without hesitation.

Lisa Watson had a fantastic day yesterday with the brilliant team at Evolve Gymnastics Academy in Wythenshawe delivering our Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course to their coaching crew.

When you're responsible for young athletes pushing their limits, having up-to-date, hands-on first aid skills is vital, and this team gave 100% effort from start to finish.

We are proud to share that we have joined the Advisory Circle for Parent Baby Spaces as their first aid and safeguarding partner!

What is Parent Baby Spaces?

Parent Baby Spaces is an initiative dedicated to setting a high standard for parent and baby environments. At its heart is a shared professional philosophy designed to ensure that baby classes, support groups, and community spaces are emotionally safe, welcoming, compassionate, accessible, and committed to continual learning.

It focuses not just on what activities happen in a space, but how families feel when they are in it, providing spaces where parents can drop their guard, feel supported, and simply exhale.

What does joining the Advisory Circle mean?

As members of the Advisory Circle, we are playing an active role in guiding and shaping the ongoing development of this framework.

It means:

Championing Emotional Safety & High Standards: Advocating for compassionate, evidence-informed, and professionally held environments across the parent and baby sector.

Supporting Practitioners & Organisations: Helping provide guidance, reflection, and best practices to those running classes and support groups so they can better serve families.

Strengthening Family Well being: Ensuring every new parent and caregiver has access to inclusive spaces where they feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported during their journey into parenthood.

How a space feels truly matters.

We are honored to collaborate with Founder Anouska and fellow advisory members to help elevate standards and support families across the country.

Have a read of our current blog post highlighting the importance of checking the credentials of the trainers experience when deciding on courses for your team.

When an emergency happens at work, nobody reaches for a textbook. They reach for the person who knows what to do, and critically, who has the confidence to do it.

Every second counts during a sudden cardiac arrest, but fear often freezes people in their tracks.

Readiness turns that panic into action.

​If someone collapsed right now, could you sprint to the nearest workplace or community AED in under 30 seconds?

​Check out the images, these small devices are built to step in when seconds matter most. You don't need to be a paramedic to save a life; you just need to know where to look.

​As a student nurse (Years ago) I was taught to never assume anything. The same could be said about the location of your emergency equipment, take a walk, spot it yourself, and point it out to a coworker. Don't have one? maybe it's time to invest in the safety of your team or community
