In a world of quick online courses and tick-box compliance, it’s easy to assume personal licence holder training is all the same.

But licensing law isn’t just theory, it’s how the law applies to your specific premises, your staff, and the real situations you face every day.
That’s where in-person training makes the difference.

Face-to-face learning creates space to:

• Explore real-life scenarios from licensed venues
• Understand how legislation applies to your exact environment
• Ask questions in the moment and build genuine confidence
• Move beyond simply passing an exam to truly understanding responsibility

Holding a personal licence isn’t just about certification.
It’s about protecting customers, supporting staff, and safeguarding your business.

Practical, relevant, and tailored learning will always go further than a screen.

I always talk on my first aid courses how regular reading of the book, checking out posts on (reliable / accurate) social media etc is great for keeping your knowledge in your head for when you need it.
I love this app created by The British Heart Foundation so you can test that your rate and depth of compressions remains accurate!
Why not check it our for yourself and see how you do

Asthma is on the rise in Scotland and recent figures show it’s now at its highest level in years.

But here’s the part that really matters
On first aid courses I find that 3 out of 4 people give the wrong first aid of what to do during an asthma attack.

That’s worrying, because asthma kills (2-3 deaths per week in Scotland), and knowing the right steps can save a life.

Get their inhaler the reactionary one is usually Blue.
No inhaler or inhaler not working call 999

If you had it wrong or you weren't 100% sure , you’re not alone and that’s exactly why awareness and training matter more than ever.
Let’s make sure confidence keeps pace with the growing numbers.

January isn’t about forcing new beginnings, that’s why so many resolutions fade by February.It’s a month for nurture: rest, reflection, and gently organising your mind and space.

Friday Fact:
Around 1 in 9 emergency hospital admissions for children in Scotland are due to an unintentional injury, many of which happen at home and could be better managed or prevented with the right first aid skills.

Almost everyone who has attended one of my paediatric first aid classes says the biggest thing they got from the class was confidence.

Confidence that they would know what to do, confidence that they could relax a little, confidence of when and when not to call an ambulance or seek medical attention.

If you could benefit from updating your baby & child first aid confidence check out my courses and get yourself booked in today
Have a great and safe weekend

Yesterday, I found myself sitting in a sauna while the snow fell outside, a scheduled (because it wouldn't have happened otherwise) and welcome pause while doing some team planning with the Edinburgh Birth and Baby team. (Would highly recommend Soul Water Sauna by the way)

It was also a reminder to myself that mental health first aid isn’t only about responding when someone is struggling. It’s also about creating space to think clearly, regulate stress, and plan with intention.

When teams are supported to slow down, reflect, and reset, they’re better equipped to look after each other, and themselves.
That’s where mental health first aid plays a vital role at work: noticing changes, having the right conversations, and knowing how to signpost support early.

Taking time for wellbeing isn’t a luxury; it’s part of building resilient, effective teams.
Sometimes the best planning happens when we step out of the noise.

Remember when looking at planning for the year ahead to include first aid and First Aid for Mental Health training for your teams.

That quieter space between Christmas and New Year is often one of the best times to pause and think ahead.

While inboxes slow and diaries breathe a little, it’s a good moment to reflect on your team. What’s worked well this year, where support is needed, and how you want 2026 to feel for yourself and your team.

Planning ahead now, whether that’s training, wellbeing support, or essential compliance, removes pressure later and shows your people that preparation and care matter just as much as performance.

Small decisions made in this in-between week can set the tone for a calmer, more confident year ahead.

If 2026 planning is on your mind, now is a great time to start the conversation.
