Anaphylaxis Kitt – A Step Forward in Emergency Preparedness
On my way down to the Lake District for a short break, I spotted this Emergency Allergy Medication Kitt in a service station.

We’re used to seeing AEDs (defibrillators) in public places – but it’s far less common to see an Anaphylaxis Kitt like this!

For those with severe allergies, carrying an adrenaline auto-injector is essential. But in reality, someone may:
✅ Have forgotten theirs at home
✅ Experience a first-time severe reaction
✅ Need an additional dose of medication
In these situations, having access to an emergency kit could be truly life-saving.

A fantastic initiative – especially in busy eateries, service stations, and venues with high footfall, because first aid isn’t just about knowledge – it’s also about having the right equipment available when it’s needed most.

👉 I’m curious to hear from others: do you think more workplaces, restaurants, and hospitality venues should consider installing these kits as part of their first aid provision?

💜 September is National Su***de Prevention Month 💜
This month is a powerful reminder that we all play a part in breaking the silence around mental health.

Sometimes the smallest conversation can make the biggest difference.
Su***de prevention is not just about awareness—it’s about creating safe, supportive environments where people feel able to speak openly and seek help.

At First Aid at Work Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire, we’re proud to play a role in this by equipping people with the knowledge and confidence to support others through our Mental Health First Aid training.

Together, we can reduce stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind people they are never alone.

Accompanied are charities and helplines that offer free, confidential support for anyone who might need it. Please feel free to share this resource.

👉 Would you like to find out more about the Mental Health First Aid courses we deliver, or would you just like to chat? Please drop a comment, send me a private message, or if you prefer - give me a call.

When your team works hard all week… you’ve got to treat them! 🍾
Took my Annies (mine are called Bob!) out for a well-earned Friday afterwork drink at the local pub. They’ve been real life-savers lately 😉

We had a sparkling time — although conversation was a little one-sided and their drinking skills could use some work… 🥂

First Aid training might be serious business, but there’s always room for a bit of fun with the team!

💡 If you’d like your team to have the confidence to save a life, get in touch to book your First Aid Training today. Scan the QR code, or head over to my First Aid at Work Aberdeen website.

And don’t worry… my Annies never drink on the job! 😄

🚨 Training Room Needed – Can You Help? 🚨

I'm reaching out to my network to see if anyone can help me find a training space in or around Aberdeen City, Westhill, Kingswells, Altens, Tullos – ideally with easy access to the AWPR (though I’m open to other nearby locations too!).

I’m looking for a room to hire on a monthly basis, or on fixed dates when I have scheduled courses, to deliver my OPEN Certified First Aid and Mental Health Training Courses.

As a small business, I do need to work within a sensible budget for a space that fits the needs of my growing business – professional, practical, and welcoming for delegates.

The ideal space would have:
✅ Seating for 12 delegates around tables
✅ Enough floor space for CPR and unresponsive casualty practice (6 people lying down at once!)
✅ A screen or projector for presentations
✅ An area for tea/coffee prep – I’ll supply all drinks/snacks, just need access to a sink, power for a water urn, and space for cups/glasses
✅ A small storage area for some training equipment
✅ Delegate parking ideally on-site or nearby

If you know of a suitable space, or have one available, I’d love to hear from you – please drop me a message or comment below!
Thank you in advance for any leads, shares, or introductions 🙏

💡What Colour is Your Urine - Dehydrated?
The temperature is rising, so the risk of dehydration increases, especially if you're busy, active, or working outdoors.

Let’s talk about something we all do — go to the toilet.
If you’ve ever glanced down and wondered what the colour of your p*e means, you’re not alone. Turns out, it's actually a brilliant indicator of how hydrated you are.

💛 1-3 on the chart, you have healthy p*e
🧡 4-8 you must hydrate
🟤 7-8 You’re dehydrated — and your body’s waving a red flag.

Water is a key player in almost everything your body does, from regulating temperature and flushing out waste to keeping joints cushioned and cells nourished. But most of us just don’t drink enough of it.

Here are 7 quick ways to stay on top of your hydration:
💧Aim for 6–8 glasses of water a day - little and often is best
💧Keep an eye on your urine colour - it’s free feedback from your body
💧Stick a bottle on your desk or in your bag as a visual reminder
💧Drink more during hot weather or when exercising
💧Munch on water-rich foods like cucumber, celery and watermelon
💧Not a fan of plain water? Add fruit or herbs for flavour
💧Been unwell with vomiting or diarrhoea? Rehydration sachets can help replace lost salts

Hydration isn’t about guzzling litres of water - it’s about balance. Too little, and you risk fatigue, headaches, and poor concentration. Too much, and you could dilute vital salts.

🚽So next time you nip to the loo, have a p*ek in the pan. Your p*e is trying to tell you something!

Dehydration is just one of the many topics we cover in our certified First Aid at Work Training Courses. Need to refresh your skills, or have a team member due for an update? You’ll learn much more than the importance of your urine colour.

Get in touch today to book a course or find out more.

What a fabulous day at the Grampian MS Therapy Centre Golf Day!

As someone who uses the centre’s services, this charity is incredibly close to my heart, and it was wonderful to see such a strong turnout at Kintore Golf Club, all in support of an amazing cause.

A big shoutout to Billy Thomson for pulling the day together — thank you! 🙏🏼

I was proud to sponsor and put together Team "Sarah’s Swingers", featuring this brilliant bunch:

🏌🏼‍♂️ Iska Walter – Iska Birnie Photography
🏌🏼‍♀️ Gordon Forbes – Gateway - Aberdeen City & Shire
🏌🏼‍♀️ Ken Reid – ITWORX UK
🏌🏼‍♂️ Edward Meredith – Ryedaura

We had a fantastic day on the course – the swings were swinging, and the banter was strong! 😄

While out and about, I snapped a few photos of sponsor logos from around the course. These are just some of the generous businesses who supported the day—there were many more, and every single one helped make the event a huge success. Thank you to:

⛳ TCC Services
⛳ Balmakewan Fishing
⛳ Alchemy Oilfield Services Ltd
⛳ A Beange Garden Services Limited
⛳ JCE Group
⛳ Bristow Group
⛳ Jacobsens-gfm
⛳ Global Crane Services
⛳ Jim Reid Vehicle Sales & Service
⛳ Thomson Partnership Scotland
⛳ Mrs Macs Reflexology/KCR/CTR
⛳ Gray & Adams
⛳ Streamline Shipping Group

👏 A big shoutout as well to the incredible Grampian MS Therapy Centre team – pictured here doing their rounds in the golf buggy, checking in on all 20 teams. You are absolute stars!

🎁 I was pleased to donated a £500 voucher for a First Aid Course: AED & Basic Life Support Training, for up to 12 delegates. This was won by a member of staff from the host Kintore Golf Club, perfect timing, as they already have an AED on site!

To everyone who played, sponsored, donated, volunteered, or simply showed up to support: thank you. This is what community spirit looks like 💚

👉 If your business, organisation or team could benefit from certified First Aid Training, including Mental Health First Aid or AED & Basic Life Support, I’d love to help! Drop me a message or visit my website: Aid at Work Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire to find out more.
