What do you think?

❌ False

A fever after an injury can be a sign of infection or another complication. The NHS recommends seeking medical advice if a fever develops post-injury.

There are over 1,000 franchise brands in the UK, so it is a huge honour to make the Elite Franchise Top 100 franchises, for which our founder, Kate, and husband Matt, were presented with our certificate last night.

The HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 Awards is the UK’s definitive official list celebrating excellence in the franchise community. To make that list, along with some of the biggest names in UK business, such as McDonald's, Molly Maid, WaterBabies and Stagecoach, is huge for our small business that started at Kate's kitchen table.

At last night's award ceremony, we were also nominated for an award recognising diversity and inclusion in our training - something we are incredibly proud to be leading in the first aid industry in the UK. Sadly, we didn't win that award on the night, but getting our Top 100 certificate was a proud moment!

Thank you to HSBC Elite Franchise for the recognition and to Platinum Wave Franchisingand British Franchise Association for your support.

What if we told you that a high temperature could cause your child to have a seizure, and many parents have never even heard of it?

It’s called a febrile seizure, and more often than not, when parents come to our baby & child first aid classes, it’s the first time they learn that this can happen.

We never share information to frighten you. We share it because knowledge replaces panic with composure 💚

If your child ever experiences a febrile seizure and you’ve never heard of one before, it can be incredibly distressing. But when you understand what’s happening and what to do, you feel calmer, more confident and in control.

Forewarned really is forearmed when it comes to our little ones.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition that affects around 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK (that’s around 1.5 million women).

Many of us still don’t really understand what it is, what the symptoms are, or when painful periods might actually be something more, and many women also report feeling dismissed when they talk to medical professionals about their pain.

One of our lovely Mini First Aid team members, Charlotte, has lived with endometriosis since her early teens. She’s bravely shared her story to help other women feel less alone - and more empowered to seek support.

At Mini First Aid, we’re all about giving families the confidence to handle life’s little (and not so little) health challenges. But s...

Every newborn baby in the UK is offered a newborn hearing screening test - here’s what you need to know as a parent.

Around 1-2 in every 1,000 babies are born with permanent hearing loss in one or both ears. This increases to around 1 in 100 babies who have spent more than 48 hours in neonatal intensive care.

Most babies with hearing loss are born into families with no history of hearing problems. That’s why this screening matters.

The newborn hearing test helps identify permanent hearing loss as early as possible, so families can access the right support, advice and treatment from the very beginning. Early diagnosis gives babies the very best chance to develop speech, language and communication skills, and to build strong bonds with the people around them.

If you give birth in hospital, the test is usually offered before you go home. If you have a home birth, or leave hospital quickly, a healthcare professional or health visitor will arrange it within the first few weeks.

The test is quick, safe and painless. A small soft earpiece is placed in your baby’s ear and gentle clicking sounds are played. The equipment measures how your baby’s ears respond to the sounds.
The test only takes a few minutes and most babies sleep through it.

Most babies will get a clear result straight away. Some babies will need another test, which doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a hearing problem, it can happen if your baby is unsettled, there’s fluid in the ear, or there was background noise during the test.

If further checks are needed, you’ll be referred to a specialist audiology team for more detailed assessments.

Screening is your choice, but it’s offered because early identification can make a huge difference.

If you’re expecting or have recently welcomed your baby, it’s completely normal to have questions about all the newborn checks. Being informed helps you feel confident in those early days.

💚 NUMBER 5 BROUGHSHANE 💚

Delighted to be bringing our Award winning Baby & Child First Aid session to Number 5

We hope you will never have to use some of the skills we teach at our baby & child first aid classes.

We hope you will never have to help your child because they are choking.

We hope you will never have to react to your child burning their skin with a hot drink or from a pan on the stove.

We hope you will never have to perform CPR on your baby.

But, at Mini First Aid, we absolutely believe you SHOULD know how to do these things in case you are ever in that situation.

As well as dealing with terrifying situations like this, our classes teach you how to spot the signs of meningitis and sepsis, how to treat a bleed, a head bump and a febrile seizure.

All super useful stuff and knowledge that will give you peace of mind and the calmness to act quickly in an emergency.
