In 2023, it's estimated that over 875,000 workers in Great Britain experienced work-related stress, depression, or anxiety. These conditions led to a total of 17.1 million working days lost in the 2022-2023 financial year, according to GOV.UK blogs. This represents a significant portion of all work-related ill health cases and lost working days.

Online training for personal licence is more popular than ever
However there are drawbacks....
How much info are your staff talking on board?

Some research shows that whilst they initially remember the facts to pass the exam they are not able to apply these to real life situations within licensed premises.

They are also often ill prepared for a visit from officials such as Licensing Standards Officers

When you book yourself or your managers on a personal licence holder course with myself I ensure they go away with knowledge that can be applied to their premises and on the course I can answer any questions they have about how the law works in their specific scenarios.

We also cover what to expect from an LSO (licensing standards officer) visit and what they should know to answer the most common questions

Here's a helpful list of some of the documents an LSO may ask to see:-

Premises licence
Summary of the Premises Licence (must be displayed and easily visible)
Section 110 / Children Access (this is the notice about if and when children are allowed on the premises and the appropriate notices clearly visible at entrance)
Staff training records
Age verification poster - challenge 25
Personal licence

The most common reason ambulances are unnecessarily called in the UK is that callers believe they or someone else is experiencing a serious or life-threatening condition, even when the situation isn't critical.

This often stems from uncertainty, anxiety, or a lack of understanding about when emergency services are truly needed. (Source:researchgate)

This is why I cover on every one of my first aid courses - "when do you call an ambulance and when can you take them yourself or call a taxi."

You may think you already know all the basics of first aid and I hope you do, but there have been several updates over the years and what you don't know is how confident you will feel when faced with an accident.

Research has shown that those that have recently completed a first aid course are much more likely to carry out effective first aid than those who haven't.

Confidence is key!

Scenario:
Your baby pulls a hot drink onto themselves.
What’s the first thing you would do?

✨ Comment below — even a quick thought could help someone else!

I'll follow up with the answer in comments at the end of the day
If you are doubting yourself or unsure or you get the answer wrong, why not book onto a course to refresh your knowledge or book a grandparent or carer on to ease your peace of mind whilst they are caring for your baby!

Anaphylaxis Can Happen Fast — Are You Prepared?

All of my first aid courses include training on anaphylaxis and how to use an adrenaline auto-injector (like an EpiPen).

Whether it’s a known allergy or a first-time reaction, knowing how to respond quickly and confidently can be life-saving.

Learn how to spot the signs, stay calm, and take action — because every second counts.
Remember call 999 first and state its ANAPHYLAXIS and then help the casualty to administer their auto-injector as per your training.

Confidence is key and attending training regularly increases that confidence
I have the following courses coming up and if these dates dont suit get in touch.

Monday 28th April - Emergency first aid at work - Leith
Thursday 8th May - Emergency first aid at work - Gullane
Sunday 11th May - Paediatric first aid suitable for parents or workplaces (you need to contact me first for latter so I give you rereading)
Wednesday 14th May - Emergency first aid at work - Fife

Why Every Small Business Needs a First Aid Game Plan 💼

Accidents don’t clock out — even in small spaces. Whether it’s a paper cut, a trip, or a more serious emergency, being prepared with basic first aid can:

✅ Protect your team and customers
✅ Avoid unnecessary panic
✅ Show responsibility & care
✅ Comply with safety regulations (yes, even tiny shops!)

A First Aid kit + basic training = a safer workplace.

Because being a small business doesn’t mean small responsibilities.

Costs can be as little as £55 per person for training and Emergency first aid at work certification that lasts 3 years!

Do you have a defibrillator near your house / office / local area?

Would you be confident enough to use it?

You don't require any training to use a defibrillator but a recent survey has shown people would be reluctant to use one without knowing what to do.

I have a fabulous new toy!
I great life-size training defibrillator.

The question is would YOU be interested in refreshing your CPR knowledge and how to use a defib and if so how would you like the training?

A - Watch a video for free on youtube
B - Attend a hands-on short session
C - Have a access to a training video I can rewatch when I want with my family for a small fee (£5)

Comment with your choice below or if you have ever had to use one?

As soon as your little one's can move, they bump their head, roll off beds and change tables and no end of stress to You the parents!

The reason for that stress is usually that lack of experience and confidence in dealing with these little things and knowing when to pop up to the hospital and when to just give them a kiss and a cuddle!

98% of those who attended a paediatric first aid course with me said they felt more confident when they left.

For those little head bumps you are looking for any changes in behaviour, swelling around the fontanelles or sleepiness when its not their nap time or vomitting alone with looking at the bump itself, its size, shape and if there is any fluid in it.

Once you know what to look for you can do a quick assessment and keep an eye on your child knowing you are doing the right thing and that your little one is safe hands.

All the paediatric courses cover all ages from newborns to adults after all its important to look after yourselves too.

For the last 2 days I've been the trainee for a change. It's important as a trainer I keep my knowledge up to date and ensure what I am teaching is correct and also there is always something new to learn from other trainers.

I'm not a statistic person as the majority of us (me included) learn more from stories not stats however these latest statistics tell their own story.

Survival rates:-
Hands only CPR - 7%
Compressions & rescue breaths - 21%
CPR/Rescue breaths and use of a defibrillator within 1 minute - 60-80% with it falling around 10% for every minute you are waiting for a defib.

Are your CPR skills up to date?
Do you know where the nearest AED (Automated external Defibrillator) is to your workplace/home?

If the answer is yes to all these then great if not get in touch to book your family / workplace first aid refresher.

If you want share pics of your nearest AED in comments
cheers for reading
