Itโs short, honest, and (hopefully!) helpful if youโve ever wondered what Iโm about.
Iโd really appreciate it if you took a quick lookโany feedback (yes, even the critical kind ๐ ) is more than welcome.
Thanks for being here! ๐ฌ๐ฅ

๐ฅ How to treat burns ๐ฅ
1) Run under cold, running water for 20 minutes (it doesn't have to be freezing, and if the burn is large, you can put the affected part under the shower, or use a garden hose when the weather if fine, for instance - do make sure you do not cool the person down too much!)
2a) Wash your own hands, put on your gloves, and find cling film
2b) The area affected is going to swell, so remove anything that is going to be impacted by that, such as jewellery, watches etc. Also remove clothing that is NOT stuck to the burn
3) Dress loosely with cling film. Loosely, because the area is going to swell more, and you don't want the cling film to restrict blood flow to the area and beyond.
Cling film:
โข ๐ธis sterile due to the manufacturing process - but not the outer layer, so cut that off
โข ๐ธwill only stick to itself - not to the burn
โข ๐ธwill stop the person becoming dehydrated (if the burn is large)
โข ๐ธstop infection setting in

Youโll be able to apply these skills, both in the workplace and in general life, after completing the course, making everyone safer. And HSE, Ofsted or CQC boxes can be ticked off.
Ever sat in a boring training session? How much did you learn in those? How much of that learning did you retain, and were you able to apply that knowledge in daily life?
We believe that learning should be fun, engaging, interactive and varied. Whatever the subject, you need to be engaged in order to learn effectively.
This is exactly what will happen when you join one of our training sessions. You will be fully engaged, you will learn in a supported and enabled way, you will actually enjoy yourself and have a bit of fun while learning about those more serious, and difficult, subjects.
Many of our courses are now available online, via tutor-led virtual classrooms and webinars, so you can train safely, knowing that you and your staff are safe from the virus, saving you travel costs and staff time besides.
