First aid training is boring, right? Or is it?!

If you have to have a first aid qualification for your role at work, you probably dread those hours of watching dry presentations and demonstrations.

What if we told you that first aid training doesn’t have to be like that! Come and train with us! We have a range of certified workplace first aid courses and our teaching isn’t like all the rest.

Our sessions are practical, hands-on, scenario-based and fun! We believe people learn best when they are involved in what they are being taught.

Check out all of our workplace training options on our website now and get in touch for more info.

Symptoms of anaphylaxis usually happen rapidly and can be life-threatening. Anaphylaxis happens when your or your child's body has a serious reaction to something you or they are allergic to.

It's important to know the signs and what to do.

Swipe through for information and don't forget to check out our podcast with Dr Helen Evans-Howells, a specialist in allergies, particularly if your child suffers from severe allergies or if they have a friend or classmate who does.

Find the podcast wherever you like to listen, just search Family Health by Mini First Aid and go to episode 43 💚

Every year, thousands of infants need medical care for poisoning from products commonly found in and around the home.

Items such as cleaning products, cosmetics, medicines, alcohol and gardening products.

If you are planning some spring cleaning in your home over the coming weeks, make sure you keep products in a secure location, in high cupboards or locked storage so that little hands can’t access easily. Also be careful when you are in the middle of cleaning, that you don’t leave the cleaning product sitting anywhere that could be reached by your child.

Poisoning can happen after swallowing, touching, or breathing in a harmful substance.

Symptoms may take a few hours or days to start, so it's important to get medical advice quickly if there's a chance you or someone else could have poisoning.

*Symptoms of poisoning can depend on what caused it, and may include:

Feeling sick or being sick
Diarrhoea
Feeling sleepy
Blurred vision
High temperature, or feeling hot, cold or shivery
Confusion
Difficulty breathing
Seizures (fits)
Loss of consciousness

If you suspect your child might have swallowed something toxic:

⚠️Get medical help immediately, call 111 or 999
⚠️Don’t let your child drink anything
⚠️Don’t make your child sick
⚠️If you know what they have swallowed, try to take a sample to hospital
⚠️Residual chemicals on the skin should be rinsed with plenty of water

Did you know that children as young as three can start learning basic first aid?

At Mini First Aid, we believe these are essential life skills every child should have. 💚

Our age-appropriate classes are fun, interactive, and designed to build confidence through things like teaching how to call 999 or how to help a friend who’s bumped their head.

We’re incredibly proud to work with schools across the UK, delivering life-saving education that’s empowering a whole generation.

Would you like your child’s school or nursery to get involved? Check out the classes for children page on our website or email anna.choudhry@minifirstaid.co.uk

If you are heading off on a road trip this Easter - you NEED to read this!

We have probably all, at some time, passed our child a snack while they are sitting in the back of the car. Maybe to placate them or ease their boredom or because they are hungry and asking for one!

For older children, this doesn't usually pose a great risk, but for babies and younger children, the risk of choking and whether or not you would notice it happening and be in a situation to help them is worth consideration.

We know that when a child gags on something they are eating, you can hear them, but when a child has something stuck in their windpipe, they will not make a sound. If you are driving, you might not be able to tell when your child is in trouble.

Consider the risks, take precautions with what type of snacks and foods you give them, and prepare food to reduce the risk of choking.

And if possible, leave snacks until after your journey, or have someone sit in the back alongside the child to keep an eye on them.

Would you have thought about this risk?

Not all signs are obvious. Some are quiet, subtle and easy to miss when you’re running on little sleep and just trying to get through the day.
As parents, we’re constantly told “every child develops at their own pace”, and that’s true. But it’s also okay to notice when something feels different.
Autism can present in many ways, especially in young children, and early signs aren’t always obvious. Some things to gently look out for include:
Not responding to their name
Limited or no eye contact
Not smiling back when you smile at them
Becoming very upset by certain sounds, smells or textures
Repetitive movements like hand flapping, rocking or finger flicking
Delayed speech or talking less than other children their age
Less interest in pretend play
Repeating the same words or phrases
Seeing one or even a few of these signs doesn’t automatically mean a child is autistic, but noticing patterns over time is important.
Trust your instincts. You know your child better than anyone.
If you do have concerns, you’re never wasting anyone’s time by asking for advice. Speaking to your health visitor, GP or special educational needs (SENCO) staff at your child’s school can help you get reassurance or the right support early on.
At Mini First Aid, we’re here to give you confidence, not just in emergencies, but in understanding your child and knowing when to seek help.
You’re doing an amazing job

It is estimated that there are around 3,000 - 4,000 cases of Lyme Disease each year in the UK - would you know what symptoms to look for in yourself or your child?

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which can be transmitted to humans from infected tick bites. Knowing how to spot the signs of Lyme disease and getting early treatment is important in mitigating severe complications such as nerve and heart problems and long-term post-infection fatigue.

Symptoms include:

- A round or oval bull’s eye like rash around the bite which can appear up to 3 months after an infected bite. The rash is usually flat or slightly raised, and pink, red or purple - on darker skin it may resemble a bruise. It may get bigger over several days or weeks, and can appear on different parts of the body.
-,A high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery.
- A headache.
- Muscle and joint pain.
- Tiredness and loss of energy.
- Neck stiffness.

If you suspect Lyme disease, see your GP as soon as possible. It’s much easier to treat if it is diagnosed early.

But first - prevention! Take steps to avoid tick bites in the first place and learn how to remove and treat tick bites in the event of finding one on you or your child.



As the weather improves and we finally get outdoors and enjoy those country walks, make sure you are prepared for ticks!
