New Emergency First aid at Work Course
on Wednesday 24th September

It's at Leith Pure Gym but open to anyone who needs this qualification.
It is a bit of a no frills course - you will be sitting on reebok steps so If you need a comfy seat this one's not for you. If you are in the fitness / wellness industry however this is packed with relevant examples and as with all Emergency first aid at work courses your certification lasts 3 years

In 2022, reports suggested that up to 60% of personal licence holders in Scotland missed their renewal deadline. I don't think that figure has changed much as I'm more often than not training people in the full course again as their licence has lapsed.
That’s thousands of licences lost — and if you’re the Premises Manager, the stakes are even higher.

Without a valid licence, you cannot legally sell alcohol, and your entire business could be forced to stop trading overnight.
Check your personal licence today:
Look at the issue date on your licence. NOT your training certificate.

It must be renewed every 10 years – and refresher training completed within the first 5 years.
A quick check today could save you serious stress, legal trouble, and lost revenue later. No one wants to be part of that 60%

Week 7 – Signs of Stroke (FAST)
Face, Arms, Speech, Time.

If their face droops, one arm is weak, or speech is slurred, call emergency services immediately — every second counts.

Although there is no first aid with this one apart from getting them to a hospital there are two common important misconceptions to be aware of.
1 - you dont need to see all the symptoms - 1 or 2 is enough to seek medical attention
2 - it's not just older people that suffer from strokes. In Scotland, around 1,000 people under the age of 55 experience their first stroke every year, including approximately 100 under the age of 30. (university of Edinburgh)

Week 6 – First aid for Burns

We are halfway through my 12 weeks of reminders of basic first aid. Today Burns!
* Cool for 20 mins under running water if possible
*. Once cooled cover with a clean dry not sticky dressing such as a specialised burn dressing or cling film

AVOID creams or sprays and NEVER use ice (this can create an ice burn!)

Consumers are drinking less but better. Demand is growing for premium, world, and no/low-alcohol options—even amid tighter budgets (Scottish Licensed Trade News) but what about the expectations of service?

When customers pay extra, they expect not just a better drink, but a better story, setting, and sense of care. The “premium” is as much about experience and service quality as it is about the product itself.

If your customers deserve the best, don't your staff deserve the best training not just a shadow and get on with it?

Week 5 – Recovery Position
Keep them safe while waiting for help.
This is used less these days. If anyone has had an accident, due to the potential of a back, neck or spine injury you should leave them in the position you found them in.
If someone is breathing but unconscious, due to illness then roll them onto their side with their head tilted back to keep their airway open. If you are not sure how to do this then attend a course or get in touch for one of my video guides.
After a seizure is an example of when you may need this.

Staff shortages are still running deep in Scotland’s licensed trade, now might not seem like the time to train teams—but it's exactly why we should.

A staggering 81% of hospitality businesses in Scotland are struggling to recruit staff, with 47% calling it a major issue (fairworkconvention.scot)
Almost half (44%) have had to reduce opening hours, while 50% say they're failing to meet demand due to staffing gaps (fairworkconvention.scot)
This is where smart training becomes essential.
Skilled, confident staff stay longer—cutting turnover and reducing recruitment hassles.
Up-to-speed training helps existing team members fill gaps, supporting safe, efficient operations even when you're short-staffed.

Well-trained staff boosts customer experience, even during lean periods. That’s vital for protecting revenue and building resilience.

Bottom line: In tough times, training isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Investing now keeps your team strong, confident, and ready to deliver—even when the industry tightens.

Week 4 – Stop the Bleed

You should know how to stop bleeding - whether its a small or a large wound the action is the same
Pressure and elevation!
Cover the wound and press hard
You don't want to cut off circulation - you can always test this by pressing the skin beyond the wound and if colour returns circulation is fine. Pressure does have to be enough though to stop the bleeding.

New guidelines are that if the blood comes through the first dressing take it off and put on a fresh one and ensure pressure is increased

Week 3 – Choking in Adults
Ask them, a quick question to make sure they are choking and also to establish if any air can past their vocal chords if they cant speak get someone to call 999 or pop on speaker phone whilst you start to administer
up to 5 Back blows (this works in majority of cases)
If not then from behind reach around them forming a fist with one hand thrust in & up just below the diaphragm (abdominal thrust) again up to 5 times. If not out call 999
Repeat back blows and thrust alternating as needed
If they stop breathing update 999 and start CPR

I'm back on Instagram!
My account was hacked so no access for ages and then it disappeared I've now got my name back (its on the back of all my first aid books and biz cards) but it is empty and I have no followers 🥲
So if you are on Instagram I'd love a follow and share to highlight to others who way wish to see the odd first aid tip whilst they are scrolling
