This year we have been working with the Hamiltion Davies Trust Charity by offering FREE automated external defibrillator (AED) Courses to the local and surrounding community.

Our monthly courses have so far trained 105 people in CPR and defibrillator use.

World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10th within Mental Health Awareness Month. The aim is to promote mental health advocacy and to educate the public on relevant issues.

This year's theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is 'Mental Health in an Unequal World'.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 requires all employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.

Accidents can happen at any time within the workplace and first aid can save lives and prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones.

As September is fast approaching, teachers will be preparing for the return to the classroom.

Schools have a responsibility to protect the health, well-being, and safety of all children under their care.

Whether you work with children in a nursery setting or teach in a school, paediatric first aid knowledge is essential in providing you with confidence in responding to an emergency situation if one were to arise.

Children are generally more prone to accidents than adults. It is necessary for teachers to have some first aid knowledge.
