🚑 Why First Aid Training Matters 🚑

First aid isn’t just a skill, it’s the difference between standing by and stepping in when it matters most.

Across the UK:
📊 Only 29% of people feel very confident using first aid skills
📊 Just 1 in 20 people (5%) feel confident, knowledgeable and willing to act in an emergency
📊 Nearly two-thirds of adults have no first aid training at all

That means in a real emergency, many people simply don’t feel prepared to help.

💡 The good news? Training changes everything.
With the right knowledge and hands-on practice, confidence can increase dramatically, giving you the ability to stay calm, take action, and potentially save a life.

At JMS First Aid Training, we’re passionate about giving people the skills and confidence they need to make a real difference.

🩺 Because you never know when those skills could be needed, for a colleague, a loved one, or even a stranger.

🚨 UPDATED GUIDANCE: BE FAST – Spot a Stroke, Save a Life 🚨

At JMS First Aid Training, we’re keeping you up to date with the latest life-saving guidance. Stroke recognition has recently been updated from FAST to BE FAST to help identify more symptoms and save more lives.

🧠 BE FAST stands for:
B – Balance (sudden loss of balance or coordination)
E – Eyes (sudden vision problems)
F – Face (facial drooping)
A – Arms (weakness or numbness)
S – Speech (slurred or lost speech)
T – Time (call 999 immediately)

⚠️ The traditional F.A.S.T. acronym can miss up to 14% of strokes, particularly those in the back of the brain, which often cause symptoms like dizziness and vision problems.

🇬🇧 UK Stroke Facts:
• There are over 100,000 strokes each year in the UK
• Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the UK
• Around 1.3 million people in the UK are living with the effects of stroke
• Rapid treatment can reduce long-term damage and save lives

⏱️ Acting BE FAST gives someone the best chance of recovery. Don’t wait! call 999 immediately.

A look back at last week’s Forest School First Aid training 🌿☀️

Such a fantastic few days with JMS First Aid Training, all set in the beautiful surroundings of Evenley Wood Garden in the spring sunshine. 🌸🌳

This reel captures just a glimpse of the hands-on learning, practical skills, and outdoor scenarios that made the training so valuable. Feeling more confident and prepared to handle first aid in a forest school setting!

We had a fantastic time delivering our Forest School First Aid course this week! 🌿⛑️

A huge well done to everyone who took part, the group really got stuck in and showed great enthusiasm throughout. It was brilliant to see everyone getting hands on with the practical scenarios and building real confidence in their skills.

Running the course at Evenley Wood Garden made a big difference, giving candidates the chance to practice in a real outdoor environment. This helped bring the scenarios to life and made the learning even more meaningful.

Thank you all for your hard work and positive energy, a great group to teach!

🚑 JMS First Aid Training 🚑

At JMS First Aid Training, we believe first aid goes beyond physical injuries! mental health matters just as much. That’s why we proudly offer Mental Health courses designed to support healthier, safer, and more productive workplaces.

💡 Why Mental Health Training Matters in the Workplace
Strong mental health isn’t just good for individuals, it’s a powerful driver of business success. When your team feels supported, you benefit from:
✔️ Increased productivity
✔️ Reduced absenteeism
✔️ Better team morale
✔️ Stronger communication and collaboration
✔️ A more positive workplace culture

🧠 What Our Mental Health Courses Cover
Our training equips you and your team with the skills to:
• Recognise early signs of stress, anxiety, and burnout
• Approach and support colleagues with confidence

⚠️ What to Look Out For

We’ve got a busy and exciting week coming up at JMS First Aid Training 🚑🌿

Jan will be delivering a two-day Forest School First Aid course at Evenley Wood Garden 🌳, focusing on practical, hands-on skills for outdoor environments. Training like this is all about building confidence, not just knowing what to do, but being able to stay calm and respond effectively in real situations 💪

Over the two days, we’ll be covering a range of essential first aid skills, all tailored to outdoor and forest school settings 🩹 It’s always great to work in environments like this, where learning can be applied more realistically and people can fully engage with the scenarios 🌲

We’re looking forward to meeting the group, getting stuck into the training, and supporting everyone in developing skills that really make a difference 🙌

🚑 Did anyone catch Ambulance recently?

There was a powerful moment where crews responded to a patient who had suffered a seizure deep in woodland 🌲 and they used the what3words app to pinpoint the exact location.

It’s a great reminder of how vital clear communication and quick thinking are in an emergency. When every second counts, knowing how to describe a location accurately can save lives.

At JMS First Aid Training, we don’t just teach first aid skills, we prepare you for real-life situations like this. Our courses are designed to give you confidence when it matters most.

💔 Would you know what to do if someone you love… or even a stranger… suddenly collapsed and stopped breathing?

Every year in the UK, thousands of people suffer cardiac arrest — and in those first few minutes, YOU could be the difference between life and death.

⚠️ The reality is shocking:
👉 Over 1 in 3 UK adults (38%) have never been trained in CPR
👉 Nearly 40% of cardiac arrest victims don’t receive CPR before emergency services arrive
(Source: Resuscitation Council UK)

⏱️ Brain damage can begin within minutes — but early CPR can double or even triple survival chances.

❤️ Imagine being there for someone who needs you most…
Would you know what to do?

At JMS First Aid Training, we give you the confidence, skills, and hands-on experience to act fast when it matters most.

✔️ Learn CPR
✔️ Use a defibrillator (AED)
✔️ Save a life

👉 Don’t wait for an emergency to realise you needed this training.
