Would you know what to do if someone fainted in front of you?

Here are 3 simple steps that can make all the difference:
1️⃣ Check they’re breathing – if they are, gently lay them on their back (or if they are pregnant, lay them on their side)
2️⃣ Raise their legs slightly (if possible) to help blood flow to the brain
3️⃣ Loosen tight clothing and let them come round naturally - don’t rush them

Most fainting spells are over in a few minutes. If they don’t wake up quickly, or you’re worried, always call 999.

It’s easier than you think - and the good news is you don’t need to panic.

This is exactly the kind of practical, confidence-building skill you’ll learn on my Emergency First Aid courses - so when real life happens, you’ll know what to do. If you want to find out when the next course is running in Harrogate, please get in touch.

It is always so wonderful to get feedback like this. Thank you Alison for choosing us for your First Aid Training and thank you for your feedback.

One of my favourite parts of training is seeing people walk in nervous, and leave feeling confident. That’s why I do it.

If you, or even the team you work with, needs training (or your certificate’s due a refresh), I’d love to help.

⏰ Two-Minute Tip! ⏰

Did you know you can save the location of your nearest defibrillator (AED) on your phone?

Most communities now have one, often outside supermarkets, gyms or schools. Just a quick search online or on the https://www.defibfinder.uk/ web address will tell you where yours is.

➡️ Take 2 minutes today to find it and save it in your phone notes.

Because if you ever need it, every second counts ❤️

Have you spotted one near where you live?

✨ The answer is False! ✨

You should lean your head forward and pinch the soft part of your nose for about 10 minutes. Tilting your head back can make blood run down your throat, which isn’t safe.

It’s such a simple tip, but one that a lot of people still get wrong!

Have you ever been told the opposite?

Would you know what to do if someone collapsed in front of you?

Most people say no. But here’s the thing…

❌ Doing nothing is the worst option.
✅ Even imperfect CPR gives them a chance.

So my question is: what’s really stopping you learning? Time? Confidence? Not knowing where to start?

Either let me know below, or drop me a message. I would love to chat and help you to learn what you could do if you really needed to.

Pet First Aid – could you step in?

Most pet owners have a first aid kit at home, but very few know how to use it when it really counts.

Think about it:
🐾 What would you do if your dog collapsed on a walk?
🐾 What if your cat ate something toxic?
🐾 What if your pet cut their paw and wouldn’t stop bleeding?

These things happen more often than you’d think.

Pet First Aid isn’t about being a vet - it’s about being confident enough to act in the first few critical minutes until professional help is available.

💡 A 3-hour course could give you skills that last a lifetime (and could save one too).

I run regular Pet First Aid sessions in Harrogate and North Yorkshire, get in touch to find out when the next one is running.

⏱ Quick tip: If someone is bleeding heavily, you don't need to waste time looking for fancy dressings.

👉 Use anything absorbent (towel, T-shirt, cloth)
👉 Apply firm, direct pressure
👉 Keep going until help arrives

First aid isn’t about being perfect. It’s about doing something.

If you wan to chat about building confidence in an emergency, get in touch and we can talk about the courses I have coming up in Harrogate and North Yorkshire.

Denmark has taught empathy in schools since 1993, helping children aged 6–16 develop compassion and social awareness. This early focus on emotional education has reduced bullying and fostered one of the world’s kindest societies.

In a America we just give you a bullet proof vest, and hope for the best lol

Last week a parent messaged me to say:
👉 Their toddler started choking on a grape
👉 They remembered something from their First Aid course I’d shared
👉 They gave 5 back blows. It worked

That child is safe today – because their parent had the knowledge. ❤️

First Aid isn’t just a certificate. It’s confidence when the worst happens.

Emergencies move fast - there’s no pause button, no “just let me look that up.”

When someone needs help, you need the skills to act right now. That’s why learning before you need it is so important.

I run friendly, practical training that gives you confidence in real-life situations - so when the moment comes, you won’t freeze.

📅 Message me to book your spot. I have courses running in Harrogate and North Yorkshire.

🚫 First Aid myths you should stop believing

Some “helpful” tips can actually make a situation worse - even dangerous. Here are a few common ones I hear all the time:

❌ “Put butter on a burn” - This traps heat and can lead to infection. Cool with running water for at least 20 minutes instead.

❌ “Make them sick if they’ve swallowed poison” - This can cause more damage on the way back up. Always call 999 or Poison Information first.

❌ “Alcohol warms you up” - It actually lowers your core body temperature.

The right action can save a life - the wrong one can cost it.
