I've spoken to three people this week who have said, I'm leaving that until after Christmas.
Is it me or are people winding down earlier each year? Maybe we need it and we are all burnt out (cue selling a mental health first aid course for your organisation) or is it that when retail hits us hard with all the Christmas tat that we blindly get swept along.
Don't get me wrong I love Christmas but there are still 6 weeks to go and plenty of work days in there.

So here's my suggestion of what to do at this time of the year:
Review your compliance, whose certifications are going out of date?
Identify emerging skill gaps and list priorities for 2026
If you are too busy before the end of 2025 schedule training early in 2026 to secure availability and budgets.

Don’t wait for the “New Year, New Goals” rush. Use this time to invest in your people and set your organisation up for sustained success.

Back to school for me today!

This morning I had the privilege of teaching a group of teenagers their first first aid of twelve lessons we’ll share together as their skill for their Duke of Edinburgh bronze award.
This is being taught within the school hours as for this particular cohort it may be difficult for them to achieve this outwith school.

They were engaged, curious, and full of thoughtful discussion, especially when we explored questions like:
Should everyone have access to first aid?
Is it a skill everyone really needs?
Moments like these remind me why I do this job and why community matters.

First aid isn’t just a life skill, it’s empowerment, confidence, and care for others.
In a world full of bad news it's great to see the changing attitudes in these future adults of how they would stop and help someone in need.
I'm looking forward to seeing this group grow over the coming weeks!

So yes….. the first aid trainer has just sliced her thumb open carving the pumpkin, but this is a reminder to highlight 2 handy facts about plasters!

1 – Should you bother covering such a minor wound with a plaster or not? Well firstly initially it’s great for applying that little bit of compression to stop any bleeding and secondly it does stop everything getting into the wound and keeps it clean whilst it is healing. (remember to replace if it gets soggy etc). Just remember to choose a plaster big enough so it doesn’t reopen the wound when you remove.

2 – Early Xmas tip – plasters are amazing stocking fillers, great things to put in crackers etc as you will no doubt need them at some point rather than useless tatt! Take your pick from Disney, glow in the dark or these emoticon ones I found last year for my teen and was the only ones I could find today!

Next Baby First aid Course in Edinburgh is Saturday 8th November Kin Collective. (see link below)

As we come into the winter season with its associated bugs if you want to feel more confident about knowing when you should take your baby to the hospital or not, this is the perfect course for you.
We cover all the big stuff like choking and CPR but we also cover the little things like when is a high temperature dangerous and “Is it just a cough or something serious like RSV?”

Remember if you are ever worried about breathing you should seek medical attention!

I love that my work takes me across Scotland, watching the seasons change and spotting wildlife along the way.
This week has been particularly special as I stayed close to home in Portobello, working with some incredible local businesses.
I delivered fire training with Soul Water Sauna, first aid training with Dook, and also worked recently with the Portobello Town Hall team and Tribe Porty have also booked me again for another first aid course.

It is inspiring to see so many fantastic female entrepreneurs and community hubs thriving right on my doorstep. It makes me wonder if the percentage of business owners in Portobello is higher than average, because it certainly feels that way!

A big thank you to these brilliant local businesses for trusting me with your training.

Week 9: Shock

Shock isn’t about being scared (that's an adrenaline come down) it’s a serious medical emergency that happens when the body isn’t getting enough blood to vital organs.
Signs to look out for:
Pale, cold, clammy skin
Fast, weak pulse
Shallow, rapid breathing
Feeling very anxious or restless and feeling thirsty.

What to do:
Call 999
Help them lie down, keeping their legs slightly raised (unless they have fallen and there could be head or spine injury).
Keep them warm with a coat or blanket.
Stay with them, reassure them, and don’t give food or drink.

Do not give them anything to eat or drink.

Bringing a little green to my business

I might not work directly in sustainability anymore, but being an eco-warrior at heart never really leaves you.

That’s why I continuously make small, conscious choices in my business — like using eco-friendly pens and pencils. It’s a small thing, but it feels good to know that even the everyday tools we use can reflect our values.
Sustainability doesn’t always have to mean huge changes, or achieving great standards. Sometimes it’s about little decisions that add up, and I’m excited to keep finding more ways to make my business a little greener.
What small eco-friendly swaps have you made recently?

Ooops I'm late with week 8 of the First Aid Skills refresh

How to deal with a Nosebleed

It still amazes me how many teachers, adults, tv programs and kids all think when you have a nosebleed to put your hear back NO
Head forward !
Pinch the soft part of the nose and lean forward for 10–15 minutes — don’t tilt the head back, as this can cause swallowing blood.
If the person is on blood thinners / has a clotting issue or it is still bleeding approaching 30 mins - seek medical help

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%
