We're thrilled to be celebrating our 2️⃣0️⃣th anniversary of providing Nationally Recognised Training TODAY! 🥳🥳🥳

We've had a whole heap of fun over the past 2️⃣0️⃣ years, with plenty of highs along the way. But what stands out the most is our amazing attendees who continue to inspire us with their enthusiasm, inquisitiveness and passion to learn life saving first aid. The people who take the time out of their busy lives and learn the skills - either upon their own accord or as a requirement for their work - all for the benefit of others who they may one day be in a position to help ⛑

So to all of our amazing attendees over the past 2️⃣0️⃣ years - thank-you. The gift you are giving your loved ones and fellow community members is immense and the whole reason we get up and do what we do each morning (and love doing it too!) 🫶

Here's to an incredible 2️⃣0️⃣ years - and another amazing 2️⃣0️⃣ (or more!) to come 😉🙌

⛑ It’s First Aid Friday! ⛑

Today’s Topic: Bee Stings 🐝

With spring well and truly in the air and the flowers blossoming, bees are at their most active, collecting nectar and pollen 🌸🍯

Although not largely aggressive, bees are territorial and will attack to protect themselves, their hives and their queen should they sense a threat.

A bee sting occurs when a bee pierces the skin with its stinger, injecting venom. Despite causing pain, redness and swelling, most bee stings are generally minor and can be treated at home using some basic first aid ⛑

This is not the case should the casualty be severely allergic or anaphylactic to bee stings, resulting in symptoms such as swelling of the throat or tongue, difficulty breathing, a fast pulse and rapid heartbeat. Given their ability to become fatal very quickly, all instances of anaphylaxis should be treated as a medical emergency, with immediate medical assistance sought (000) and correct administration of an EpiPen as soon as possible 🚑

Do you know how best to manage a bee sting, both as a minor and anaphylactic episode? And what simple measures can we all take to help prevent a sting in the first place?

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend all you busy bees! ⛅

❤❤❤ Happy Restart a Heart Day! ❤❤❤

Did you know that defibrillation within the first few minutes of sudden cardiac arrest can increase the chance of survival from 5% to over 70%? 🙌

Used to deliver an electrical shock to the heart to correct abnormal rhythms such as those which occur during a cardiac arrest, we should all count ourselves incredibly lucky that External Automated Defibrillators (AED's) are becoming more and more common in public arenas such as shopping centres, stadiums, schools, sporting clubs, community centres and workplaces. You can even purchase one for your home! 🥰

CPR and AED's DO save lives. And it could just be the life of one of your loved ones one day 🫶

Today, on Restart a Heart Day, brush up on your AED skills with our 'How to use an AED in 6️⃣ Simple Steps' guide. And if you REALLY want to get into the spirit of the day, why not book yourself in to one of our Nationally Recognised Training Courses to learn CPR too? For more information head to 💻www.revive2survive.com.au

After all, you just never know when - or whose - heart you may need to restart one day ❤

With all students receiving a DRSABCD card, CPR face shield and certificate of achievement upon completion, we're strong believers that as this age group starts becoming more independent, these pivotal skills are amongst the most important learnings they will ever receive 🫶

Providing Nationally Recognised Training for almost 2️⃣0️⃣ years now, we're passionate about teaching the next generation the important skills of how to save a life - and we'd love to be able to do that for you and your students.

⛑ It’s First Aid Friday! ⛑

Today’s Topic: Suspected Spinal Injury 🩻

A suspected spinal injury can be a scary scenario for all involved.

Generally occurring as a result of some type of trauma – be it a fall, car accident or sporting injury – signs of a spinal injury may include pain at the site of the injury, numbness, a tingling or absent sensation in the arms or legs or impaired / loss of movement.

Twisting, compressing or bending an injured spine can increase damage, so in all instances of a suspected spinal injury where the casualty is conscious and breathing, they should NOT be moved or re-positioned in any way, unless in immediate danger 🙅‍♀️

In instances where the patient is NOT conscious or breathing, the airway takes priority HOWEVER the casualty should be moved as little as possible, with their head and neck supported.

A medical emergency, for all instances of a suspected spinal injury, DRSABCD should be followed, with emergency medical assistance (000) sought right away 🚑

Would you be able to diagnose and manage a suspected spinal injury until further help arrives should you be confronted with one? And what preventatives can we all take to limit our risk of suffering one?

Despite advances in treatment, spinal injuries are life changing so always take care where your back, neck and head are concerned and remember these first aid pointers should you ever be in the position of attending to one ⛑

⚡ October is Shocktober month, an important time to increase awareness around the importance of learning CPR and knowing how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) ⚡

Why?

Well, because every day around 21 Victorians will suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest, with only 10% of these people surviving*. Immediate action is critical 🏃🏼‍♀️⛑⚡

Research shows that for every 1 minute that CPR is delayed, a persons chance of survival decreases by 10%. With average Victorian ambulance response times in metro Melbourne approx. 8 minutes (and longer in regional areas)* 🚑 - rapid action is required to give the casualty any chance of survival at all.

Defibrillation within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest can increase the chance of survival from 5% without CPR and AED to over 70% 🙌

Do you know how to administer CPR or use an AED to restart a heart and save the life of a loved one? 🫶

This Shocktober why not make a commitment to do just that by undertaking one of our Nationally Recognised HLTAID009 Provide CPR courses, for just $70 per person?

⛑ It's First Aid Friday! ⛑

Today's Topic: Snake Bites 🐍

It's that time of year again - snake season! With our slippery friends at their most active from September right through to April, now is the time to brush up on our snake bite skills - and prepare ourselves with the right equipment should we need it 🎒🩹

With around 3,000 suspected incidents annually, snake bites are responsible for around 550 hospitalisations and two deaths each year in Australia* With 57% of snake bites happening in regional and rural areas* - the majority near homes and buildings - it's important to act quickly to ensure anti-venom can be administered quickly, especially if you are in a more remote area.

In all instances of snake bites, it's pivotal to provide some basic first aid while also seeking emergency medical help as soon as possible. If it's safe to do so, remove the casualty from the bite setting, lie them down and attempt to keep them calm, so as to slow the circulation of venom around the body. If you have one available, a pressure bandage can also be applied although be careful to keep the limb as still as possible.

Do you know the basic steps for treating a snake bite? What should you NOT do and what simple precautions can we all take to help avoid one? 🤔

As always, it pays to be prepared and our mates at have you covered with a great range of snake bite bandages and First Aid Kits starting from just $4.90. To view the full range visit 💻www.firstaidgearaustralia.com.au
