✅ Last class of 2025 is done!

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and my little business throughout 2025. Whether you’ve attended a class, liked or shared a post, or simply followed along with our journey – it truly means the world to me.

I’ve loved meeting every Mum, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunty, Uncle and little one I’ve had the honour of teaching first aid to this year. I always hope you’ll never need to use the skills I teach, but it’s such a reassuring feeling knowing you’d know exactly what to do if you did. 💚

Public classes start again on 13th January, and until then I’ll be spending some special time with my own little ones. I’ll still be answering emails and enquiries, and I do have availability for private classes in January – just email anna.choudhry@minifirstaid.co.uk for more information.

If you’re super organised and already planning ahead, there are lots of classes running in January, February and March, which you can book here:

See you in 2026🎉🎄

From 2026, the theory test part of learning to drive will include questions on CPR and defibrillators. If you were in an accident or came across one on the road, would you know what to do?

It’s not just about ticking a box on a test paper; it’s about feeling confident that you would know what to do if you came across an emergency and that you would be able to step in and help.

Drivers are often the first people on the scene of an accident, so it’s vital to learn the skills of CPR and using an AED, and nothing teaches these skills better than in-person demonstrations and hands-on practice.

Our 2-hour First Aid Awareness Class for Adults​ ​covers heart attack, CPR, using an AED, stroke,​ ​burns, bleeds, severe allergic reaction, choking, seizures and breaks.​ ​It’s informal and gives everyone who attends the skills to respond in an emergency situation.

Come and learn with us, or encourage your teenager who is learning to drive to come and learn with us today - a few hours of learning could save a life

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

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

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.

If you have black or brown skin and take a first aid class where they tell you to look out for blue lips and red skin marks, how do you know what that looks like for your child?

Medical and first aid literature, imagery and teaching has always traditionally been taught with an assumption that you or your child has white skin. But if your child is black or brown, their lips won’t go blue and rashes and burns will look different. And you need to know this information.

All of our trainers undertake diversity training and in our classes, we teach first aid for all skin colours as standard.

No more guesswork. We will talk you through exactly what to look out for no matter what skin tone your child has.

This brilliant review is for our trainer Lell - you’ll get this same teaching wherever you are in the UK.

Road Safety Week is always a great time to share this reminder about your child’s roadside visibility in these darker winter months.

This image shows the difference in visibility between a child wearing a dark coat (bottom image) and the same child wearing a bright coat (top image), waiting to cross a road in the evening light.

If your child wears a dark winter coat, bear in mind that car drivers may not see them as clearly if they were to step out onto the road.

Of course, the main focus needs to be on driver awareness and reducing car speed, particularly around schools, but it doesn’t hurt to think about small changes we can make that can perhaps add extra protection for our children, such as buying bright clothing!

Please share for awareness 💚
