FRIDAY FIRST AID TIME 🧡💜

In this edition we are talking about first aid treatment of minor grazes.

Grazes are a common injury affecting the top layer of the skin. They occur as a result of friction when coming into contact with another surface, for example through falling, sports injuries, skidding across a surface or scratching.

🧤Wash your hands and/or apply gloves.

⛔️The first rule of any cuts or grazes is to stop any bleeding by applying direct pressure. A gauze swab can be useful for this as they are fibre free and do not become stuck to the wound.

💦Clean the wound by rinsing it with water. Sterile wipes are often available in first aid kits and can also be used to clean the wound. In addition, clean the skin around the wound using soap and water

🩹Make sure the area is dry before applying a plaster or sterile dressing. Change the dressing frequently. In most case the plaster can be removed after a few days.

As the graze heals a scab may form. Scabs normally fall off by themselves.

Always look for signs of any worsening or infection, this includes:

Increased reddening of and around the area of the graze
Any oozing or pus from the wound site
Heat or pain at the wound site
If you develop a temperature

People told me it would never work.. 🧡 .... 💜

Filling a training room with individuals who don't know one another.

Asking them to work together, interact together, support together and succeed together.

I'm hoping that the photographs of this week's course help to disprove that.

However, here are some other strategies I have learnt and apply within all my training.

🔸 There is a space and voice for everyone. This starts from our first interaction. When you book your course, I will always ask you your reasons for attending. This helps me understand your starting point and motivation.

🔸 Question and Answer sessions. I know that you have existing knowledge and I want you to share it.

🔸 Group, hands on practise, and scenarios. First Aid in the real World is about problem solving. The training room is a safe place to work through that, and help you transfer your skills into professional, business or community life.

🔸 Providing you with regular feedback. Trust me, I want you to do well. I will always be your cheerleader and CPR champion.

If you are involved in training of any kind, I'd love to hear how you approach your sessions .

Does your trainer show up for you?

Here I am, 45mins early for a first aid training session this week 🕗

But in truth, the preparation started weeks ago...

🔸From the initial consultation, I'm already busy researching your industry, your workplace, your location.

🔸I'm looking at the injury and illness themes, likely accidents and emergencies that could happen and where your nearest defibrillator is.

🔸I've looked at latest relevant guidance, prepped my equipment, planned scenarios, and thought about potential questions.

🔸Sometimes, I even speak to one of my connections, who is in the same profession as you.

🔸I've collated the paperwork, ensured you are enrolled, and that you've received your welcome email.

🔸My service doesn't stop at the end of our training. You are always welcome to contact me if you need support or signposting, particularly following any incidents.

If you want a trainer with high attention to detail, who truly makes your training tailored, then I'd love to work with you 🧡💜

Sepsis is a life - threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs, with the immune system going into overdrive.

First Aid for sepsis primarily involves spotting the signs and seeking immediate medical help. September is sepsis awareness month - let's get sepsis savvy!

The signs and symptoms of sepsis can be hard to spot - and can appear like other illnesses such as Flu. You do not need to have all of these signs and symptoms, and they can occur in any order. If you are worried - go to A & E or call 999 immediately.

In adults and children over five, symptoms can include; slurred speech, shivering or muscle pain, mottled or discoloured skin (on brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet), a rash that doesn’t fade when a glass is rolled over it, severe breathlessness, and a day without passing urine.

In babies and young children, signs and symptoms can include:
- Blue, grey, pale or blotchy skin, lips or tongue – on brown or black skin, this may be easier to see on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet
-A rash that does not fade when you roll a glass over it, the same as meningitis
-Difficulty breathing (you may notice grunting noises or their stomach sucking under their ribcage), breathlessness or breathing very fast
- A weak, high-pitched cry that's not like their normal cry
- Not responding like they normally do, or not interested in feeding or normal activities
-Being sleepier than normal or difficult to wake

Sepsis is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical help.
