You may have seen a public defibrillator somewhere in your local area, but have you ever wondered how they work and what you would have to do if the emergency situation arose?


Our step-by-step guide, with guidance from British Heart Foundation , shows you what would be expected of you if you were ever to find yourself in a cardiac arrest situation and be called upon to use a public defibrillator.


You don’t need training to access and use a public defibrillator, there are clear instructions on the device, and it does a lot of the work for you regarding checking the heart and deciding whether a shock is required. You cannot shock someone accidentally with a defibrillator!


First aid training can give you a practical demo of using a defibrillator, which may help you feel more confident and remain composed during a crisis.

Hug Button! 🤗 Something for you to try if you are sending a little one back to school or nursery this week 💚


If your child, or you, are feeling anxious about the new term and worrying about missing each other, this gorgeous hug button idea might just help.


Draw a love heart on both of your palms, or perhaps on wrists so they don’t get washed off, place the hearts together to ‘charge’ up the love, and tell your little one to press their heart anytime during the day to send you a hug and know that you are sending hugs and love back 💚


Will you try this with your little one?

Watching a video tutorial or 30-second reel demonstrating how to perform chest thrusts on a choking baby is not going to give you the same learning experience as watching and practising the technique in person.

When you take an in-person first aid class with Mini First Aid, you'll see our expert trainers demonstrate the techniques in front of you on life-sized baby and child mannequins.

You'll get hands-on with the manikins yourself, experiencing exactly where to position your hands and fingers, feel how deeply to properly compress during CPR and get immediate feedback on how you are managing, helping you make adjustments and get it right.

You'll have time with our expert trainer to ask questions and practise until the techniques become second nature.

And you don't get that from a minute-long video or TV programme! 😉

Come and learn with us, it's two hours of your time and costs from just £30 per person to really learn vital first aid techniques that could just save your child's life.

Head to the classes tab on our website to find classes in Middlesbrough, Darlington, Thornaby and beyond!
