2025 Update Part 2: First Aid Guidelines

This new section provides advice based on science on life-threatening conditions that might lead to a cardiac arrest if first aid is not done or on time-critical conditions where first aid can reduce severe morbidity.

2025 Guidelines have been released:

Main change - CALL 999/112 for unresponsive casaulty

1) Call 999 for any unresponsive person. Rescuers no longer need to confirm abnormal breathing before calling. Initiate the call first, then assess breathing while waiting for the call to be answered. The ambulance service call handler will be able to assist you in identifying abnormal breathing, if needed.

2) Exercise is a common precipitant of cardiac arrest. The 2021 guidelines emphasised descriptions of slow or laboured breathing as indicators of abnormal breathing. For 2025, we recognise that early after the onset of cardiac arrest, athletes may display a near-normal or panting breathing pattern.

For the past three days, I have been engaged in delivering First Aid at Work training in Shotts, Scotland, on behalf of another training organization at their newly established training facility.

Our organizations have a collaborative history spanning over fifteen years, marked by successful joint projects.

We regularly collaborate with and endorse a select group of trusted training providers, maintaining long-standing relationships with various providers throughout the UK.

Should you require training services, we are well-positioned to either recommend suitable providers or offer training directly.

With thirty-one years of experience in the industry, we possess extensive knowledge of numerous companies and a broad understanding of diverse sectors.

It is always beneficial to work outside of the usual office environment and experience a change of perspective.

We are pleased to have passed our RYA EQA Inspection today - no action plan.

We have been an RYA Training center for 18 years (but have been teaching for over 31 years), offering RYA First Aid and RYA SRC radio courses and various other courses.

Scott, the Principal of the center, is also a powerboat instructor, has taught sailing, and has extensive knowledge of other water activities. His First Responder Training (FREC4) gives insight and can explain why we do things when needed.

Today saw Scott, the owner of SPR, spending his first day volunteering at Port Edgar Boat Station, delivering a RYA Level 1: Powerboat Course! 🤩 Training the Airdrie and Coatbridge Sea Cadets was a great day! 🌊 It's great to be back on the water and sharing powerboating skills - Scott's been powerboating since he was 7 and a PBI instructor for 30 years!

Fin the dolphin visited- no photos
Since Fin never signed photo release , we respect it's privacy, but picture of Fin under water !

He's volunteered for RYA Scotland Events, Sailing club events and is Safety Boat Qualified.

Looking forward to the next session! ⛵
