Incoming news for triple negative breast cancer research!

Professors Andrew Tutt and Sheeba Irshad from the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre at Institute of Cancer Research and our research unit at King’s College London have made an exciting discovery.

Their research has shown that a scan taken before surgery after just 1 cycle of chemotherapy could indicate how well triple negative breast cancer is responding to treatment.

And in the future, this could lead to improved treatment decisions that help more people get the treatment that’s right for them at the time they need it.

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 ALWAYS includes manikins with breasts, so you can practise confidently, get past the social barriers, 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.
