Paediatric First Aid is all about spotting the deteriorating child 💜🧡

Things we did well:
🔸️Reassessing the effectiveness of our first aid -
Has the Epipen worked? Do we need to give a second one? Has the reliever medication in asthma worked, or do we need more help?
🔸️Checking that there weren't any other injuries and not just assuming one thing because of the history
🔸️Using the bin as the vomit bowl 🤣

Our paediatric first aid courses are designed for anyone with personal or professional responsibilities for infants, children and young people. We also have courses for parents and family members.

Lights, Camera, Action ! 🧡💜

What did you want to achieve this Year?

My personal challenge was to put myself 'out' there a little more. A huge learning curve since starting Anglia CPR has been realising that I am the face of my business.

Whilst I am pretty confident standing up in front of a group of people for a training course, standing up in front of a camera is another thing.

Yesterday, thanks to funding secured via New Anglia Growth Hub , I took another step towards this goal.

We managed to record four short First Aid and CPR education videos, plus one of my fantastic customers came and delivered a video testimonial of her experience with us.

Thank You Steve at Wandering River for being so professional and encouraging and Louisa Mower for delivering such glowing feedback.

Here's a few behind the scenes images from Saturday 💜 🧡

A huge shout out and share for the SOS Bus. I've had the huge pleasure of training some of the team in First Aid. They are an incredible, highly skilled, and dedicated team who help keep the community safe. Please donate and share 🧡🧡

🚨 SOS Bus Update – We Need Your Help! 🚨

Unfortunately, due to a lack of funding, the SOS Bus will not be able to deploy this evening. 💔

Our incredible team will still be out in force providing vital support to those in need — but this time, we’ll be operating from a gazebo base instead of our usual bus.

The SOS Bus provides a safe space for anyone who finds themselves vulnerable during a night out — offering first aid, emotional support, and a place to recover safely. Every shift we run helps reduce the pressure on emergency services and keeps our community safe.

But to keep doing that, we urgently need your help.
💷 We must raise £5,000 to get the SOS Bus back on the road and continue delivering this essential service.

🙏 Please donate today and help us keep the lights on, the kettle warm, and the doors open for those who need us most.

Every pound truly makes a difference.
Thank you for supporting the safety of our community. 🧡

Friday First Aid Time 🧡🎃🍂

Today's topic seems really poignant with it being Halloween, shortly followed by Fireworks Night.

Injury prevention:
🎃Halloween costumes can be highly flammable. Check costumes for a UKCA or CE mark. These costumes are still at risk of catching alight, but should burn more slowly.
🎇Attend organised fire work displays. Keep children away from bonfires, and use gloves when handling sparklers. These should be held at arm's length.

🔥Teach everyone the STOP, DROP, ROLL principle. This will help to extinguish clothing fires.

🆘First Aid:
- Check for, and remove from, danger
- Remove clothing from around the burn, but do not remove anything which is stuck directly to the burn.
- Cool the burn, ideally under running water, for at least 20 mins. Be mindful about keeping the rest of the body warm, especially if the burn in large in size and you are having to cool a large surface area.
- Drape layers of cling film over the burn. This helps to relieve pain and prevents further infection. DO NOT wrap tightly as burns swell and this avoids further constriction
- Provide pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, following the instructions on the packaging, or by seeking medical guidance.

🚨When to go to A&E or call 999:
- The burn has a chemical or electrical cause
- The burn is to the face, hands, feet, joints of ge****ls
- There are other injuries, or airway, breathing, circulation problems
-There are signs of shock
- The burn is larger than the size of the person's palm. However, The Children's Burns Trust do also suggest that any burn bigger than the size of a 50 pence piece requires medical attention.

If you are worried seek help.

Happy Halloween and have a great Firework's Night.

Why now is a great time for you to update your CPR and First Aid skills 🧡💜

The Resuscitation Council UK published their updated guidelines on Monday.

Some of the key Updates:

🆕 A brand new chapter dedicated to First Aid! This recognises the crucial role that early help and intervention, plays in the chain or survival and overall improved outcomes for people who are ill and/or injured.

🤔 Suspect cardiac arrest in anyone that is unresponsive.
Call 999 without delay
Assess breathing whilst the call is being answered.
If you are unsure, the call handler will assist you to check for normal breathing. (CHECK, CALL, CPR)

🙌 Chest Compressions and management of choking in infants (under 1's).
For both chest compressions (in cardiac arrest) and chest thrusts (in choking), use the two-thumb encircling method.

Annual updates can be completed in as little as 2 to 3 hours. If you would like to find out more about the changes, or to organise a refresher session, then contact us, we'd love to hear from you.

Don't fall behind 🍂 - keep your skills up to date 🧡💜
