🌟 Level 3 Award in Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace
🗓️ February 8th & 15th – Limited Spaces

Workplace mental health isn’t just a “nice to have” anymore — it’s a business essential.

Recent data released shows a clear trend:

- Stress, depression and anxiety remain the leading causes of long‑term workplace absence.
- Employees now average 9.4 days of sickness absence per year, the highest in a decade.
- Nearly 15% of working‑age adults are living with a long‑term mental‑health condition.

These numbers aren’t just statistics — they’re people. Colleagues. Teams. Workplaces under pressure.

If you want to create a safer, healthier, more supportive environment for your staff, investing in mental‑health training is one of the most powerful steps you can take.

Interesting read on pursed lip breathing ...

The College has a new publication in the Journal of International Paramedic Practice. Each edition, JIPP asks CoROM to submit an article on a topic related to remote and offshore medicine. This time, it is on Pursed-lip Breathing and why Remote Medics need to be good at this.

Thanks to Aebhric OKelly for creating this journal article.

Do you use chainsaws in your line of work? Got one in the garden? This fab safety video gives you loads of info on staying safe.

For added safety why not get your place on our Rural First Aid course where you can learn what to do if someone has an accident using a chainsaw or other equipment whilst out doors.

Head over to pand-aid.co.uk to book your space and find out more

🪚 Did you know? Chainsaws aren’t gardening tools.

Just because you can use one at home, doesn’t mean you should without the right training and protection.

Chainsaws are powerful tools that demand respect, knowledge, and proper PPE — not casual garden equipment. In the last decade, over 3,000 people across the UK have ended up in A&E due to chainsaw injuries.

Before you pick one up, remember:
✅ Respect – It’s a power tool, not a hedge trimmer
✅ Train – Learn how to use it safely
✅ Protect – Always wear the correct PPE
