So you may have heard about the changes to the way training providers can deliver First Aid Training in the UK, like the inclusion of Blended Learning. But how will this affect you and what potential changes will you see in our courses?

Each year, 2,700,000 people are injured as a result of an accident at home, with 4,000 of those injuries ending in fatalities. With this in mind, 82% of parents with young children questioned say that they would not know what to do if their child suffered an accident.
