How long does it take to complete a first aid needs assessment? 📝

10 MINUTES ⏰️

It was my business spotlight session this morning, and a great opportunity to give insight into how I work with my customers.

I challenged everyone to a mental walk through of a place they visit regularly. We considered many factors including; remoteness of location, number of people, where the nearest defibrillator is, top 3 hazards, and the types of illnesses or injuries that could occur.

Whilst this type of assessment is normally associated with work settings, we found that it could easily be applied to other places such as, our favourite local pub, the gym, our local park, or a relative's house.

Yes, the HSE has recommendations for number of workplace trained first aiders, but let's work together to build a entire community of life savers🤝

P.s if you are looking for your next networking community, or just want to come as our guest, see more about our friendly group below 🧡💜

We are an independent business networking group who meet fortnightly in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Size isn't everything...🧡💜

Today I've learnt more about the power of small group training sessions.

Two fantastic candidates, both with sporting interests, successfully completing an Emergency First Aid at Work Course.

Teamwork is still achievable and collective learning can still take place. In fact, our teamwork and communication skills had to more focused and clear, so that we could maximise our actions for the numbers of hands we had. It also made us consider how it might be if we were alone with someone who is ill or injured.

Equal opportunities to participate and practise hands on skills without the time pressures that potentially can occur with larger groups. More time to answer questions and all individual learning needs met. More parity in discussion elements, and to share existing experience and knowledge.

And most poignantly, feedback from a customer today:

"We've actually had time today to talk about WHY we do things, in addition to HOW we do things"

I'm really proud here at Anglia CPR to offer 1 to 1 and small group courses. If you feel this environment suits you, then contact us. We will aim to accommodate for everyone who wishes to learn vital life saving skills.

BANG ! The School holidays are here 🧡💜❤️‍🩹🤯

Head injuries in children are common. Children are active explorers; developing and learning about the World around them.

Most minor head injuries, where the child cries straight away and returns to their normal self, can be treated and observed at home. A wrapped ice pack (e.g. in a tea towel) can be used to treat bumps and bruises, and placed over the affected area for approximately 10 minutes. Ensure that an adult is with the child for the following 24 to 48 hours.

If you are worried at any time, access 111, your GP, A&E or 999.

Reg flags for head injuries (which require urgent medical help) include:

🚩High speed, high impact, or fall from height. The height can be a little as the child’s own height, more than 1 meter, or more than 5 stairs.
🚩 Vomiting 3 or more times (with at least 10 minutes between each vomit)
🚩Blood or fluid coming out of their ears / nose
🚩 Bruising behind the ears / around their eyes
🚩Loss of consciousness, has a fit / seizure, becomes more drowsy / difficult to wake, or suffers memory loss
🚩A bump, bruise, swelling or cut which is bigger than 5cm
🚩Behaviour changes, such as becoming irritable / confused. A baby may not wake for feeds as normal, may have a continuous cry and can not be comforted.
🚩Changes to their own speech or can not understand what you are saying
🚩Changes to their vision and eyesight
🚩Abnormal movements, such as; loss of balance, weakness
🚩 A headache that does not go away

You can support your child to sleep as per their normal routine. However, it is recommended that you check your child more frequently overnight to ensure that they are sleeping as they normally would, and that they make an appropriate response when you rouse them.

Contact sports should be avoided for at least 3 weeks. Many sporting governing bodies have return to play protocols, which provide guidance to clubs and coaches about returning to organised sports following head injuries.

Thunderstorm Asthma - what you NEED to know 🌩️ ⛈️

⚡ Thunderstorms can trigger and worsen asthma symptoms. Although the process is not fully understood, it is believed that wind and rain cause pollens, fungus, pollution and other spores to break down and circulate in the air. These are then breathed in and affect the airways.

⚡ Signs and symptoms that your Asthma is worsening:
- Increased coughing
-Increased wheezing
-Feeling chest tightness
-Feeling more breathless
-Waking up at night
-Needing to use your reliever inhaler more
-Unable to do normal tasks
-Finding it difficult to talk

⚡ If you have asthma, and you know that thunderstorms are a trigger:
- Make sure that you are following your personalised Asthma Plan / Action plan
-Always have your medications with you
-Make sure you have taken your preventer or MART inhaler
-Take your hayfever medications
-Stay inside if you are able to

⚡ FIRST AID for Asthma Attacks:
- Sit up in a position which helps breathing
- Take your reliver medication following your action plan (there are different reliever inhalers and each are given slightly differently in asthma attacks)
-Call 999

Recognising and treating asthma attacks is covered in our First Aid at Work, Paediatric First Aid and Parent First Aid Courses. We also have an online course if you want to improve your Asthma knowledge 🧡 💜
