WITHOUT FIRST AID TRAINING… WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?

At my recent BNI presentation, I put two groups to the test.

Each group faced a different but comparable emergency scenario — two casualties, multiple first aid problems to identify, an unexpected twist and one deliberately unhelpful “first aider” thrown into the mix.

The difference? This first group had no first aid training.

Watch what happens when nobody is completely sure what to look for, who should take control or what needs to happen first.

There’s hesitation, confusion and valuable time lost.

And in a real emergency, those minutes matter.

Would you know what to do?

👉 Next, watch what happened when I put the first-aid-trained group under similar pressure.

🚨 YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU’LL NEED YOUR FIRST AID SKILLS 🚨

Tonight, walking through Florence, we came across a woman who had collapsed in the street in the heat and appeared to be having a seizure.

Suddenly, everything I teach became very real.

I took control of the situation, helped get her somewhere cooler and safer, monitored her condition and timed the seizure, something that became incredibly important when the paramedics arrived, because I was able to tell them it had lasted over 10 minutes which isn't good 👀

(Any seizure lasting over 5 minutes requires medical attention.So it was good that the ambulance were on their way)

Her partner was understandably panicking, so I gave him a job: keep talking to her, keep reassuring her and try to get a response. Giving him something to focus on helped him too.

She was completely unresponsive, and all I could do was stay calm, monitor her and make sure the emergency services had the information they needed when they arrived.

It was reassuring when the first paramedics, and later the more experienced ambulance crew also believed she had suffered a seizure.

She was eventually taken safely to hospital, and hopefully she will be okay. ❤️

Tonight reminded me why I teach first aid.

You never know where you’ll be when somebody suddenly needs help.

You never know when those skills you learnt months or years ago will suddenly matter.

And sometimes, simply knowing how to stay calm, take control and give the emergency services the right information can make a huge difference.

So my question is…

Would YOU know what to do?

And would you know what number to call if it happened while you were travelling in Europe?

📞 112 is the European emergency number.

Learn it. Teach it to your kids. Remember it.

Because you genuinely never know when you might need it. ❤️

In just two days, Charlie swapped scrolling for creating... and look what happened. 👏

He designed his own pattern from scratch, learnt how to use an overlocker, carefully applied every sequin himself, and created this incredible outfit.

Then he went to ... and came 2nd place in the festival outfit competition! 🥈✨

Sometimes all our kids need is the chance to discover what they're capable of. Creativity, confidence and a little encouragement can achieve amazing things.

If only I could get him off his phone a bit more often! 😂❤️

You never know when you'll need your first aid skills... and today proved exactly why.

I had just finished delivering an Emergency First Aid at Work course and was driving home when I stopped at Asda.

As I walked out, I heard people shouting for help.

An elderly lady was having a seizure.

Only a couple of hours earlier I'd been teaching exactly this scenario, and suddenly it wasn't a classroom exercise anymore—it was real life.

I was able to step in, help keep her safe, time the seizure, reassure the people around her and make sure everyone knew what to do... and just as importantly, what not to do.

What struck me most was how closely real life mirrored the scenarios we practise in training.

Someone suggested giving her water during the seizure. Another wanted to move and lay her flat.

Neither was the right thing to do in that moment.

That's why first aid isn't just about learning a list of techniques. It's about staying calm, knowing what actions to take, what actions to avoid, when to lead and when to delegate.

Today was a powerful reminder that these situations happen when you least expect them.

Because first aid isn't for the classroom... it's for real life.

❤️ You never know when you'll be the person somebody needs and I was glad I was able to help ✨️
