Every now and then, we see content circulating about 'cough CPR' - health professionals and The British Heart Foundation and Resuscitation Council UK have overwhelmingly debunked this myth.

This information is on the British Heart Foundation website:

There is no medical evidence to support ‘cough CPR’, which suggests you can help yourself by coughing vigorously if you think you’re having a heart attack and are alone.

If you have a cardiac arrest, you would become unconscious, and without immediate CPR (chest compressions and rescue breaths), you would die. But if you are still conscious (and you would have to be to do ‘cough CPR’), then you are not in cardiac arrest and therefore CPR is not needed, but urgent medical help is vital.

If you witness a cardiac arrest, you can increase the person’s chances of survival by phoning 999 immediately and giving CPR.

Please learn the facts and do not share content about 'cough CPR'!

There’s no medical evidence that coughing can help during a suspected heart attack, and many credible organisations have warned against it.

CPR is an incredible life skill to learn, whether in school, youth clubs, or groups like the Cadets, and stories like this demonstrate its importance. What a wonderful young man to jump in and use his knowledge and training to save a child's life 💚

The quick thinking of a ‘heroic’ teenager helped to save a child’s life at a Glasgow train station.

With a vaccine for chickenpox being included in the national vaccination programme for children in the UK from this month, we thought we'd share a reminder of what chickenpox is and why it can be so dangerous and unpleasant for children.

You can find out more about the vaccine by asking your GP or refer to the NHS website.

The months of March to May are the most common time to catch chickenpox, so we thought a reminder about the symptoms and how to treat it wou...

Data showed that cases of Whooping Cough rose in England and Wales in 2024 and while we don't yet have stats for 2025, it's important that you know the signs to look out for.

The UK Health Security Agency warned of a steady decline in uptake of the vaccine in pregnant women and children. Please chat with your GP or midwife about vaccination.

Take a few moments today to familiarise yourself with the vaccines available and the symptoms and dangers of whooping cough so that you can make an informed decision 💚

This month, the Government launched a chickenpox vaccination programme in England, which aims to protect around half a million children each year

GP practices will offer eligible children a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - the clinical term for chickenpox - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

According to Government research, chickenpox in childhood results in an estimated £24 million in parental lost income and productivity every year in the UK, so it's hoped that the vaccine will mean children miss fewer days in nursery and school, so parents will not need to take time off work to care for them.

Lots more information on the vaccine can be found at the link in the comments. Please see your GP to check if your child is eligible and to discuss any concerns you may have.

Before we say goodbye to 2025…let’s look what we achieved together.

💚 In 2025, we trained over 30,000 parents and carers, 8,000 workplace delegates and a whopping 52,000 school children in life-saving first aid.

💚 We celebrated our 10-year business birthday at an emotional conference with birthday wishes from Giovanna Fletcher, The Unmumsy Mum and Sara Davies.

💚 Our founder Kate joined a Coppafeel trek in the Brecon Beacons in memory of her lovely friend Lisa. A huge physical and emotional challenge. Kate raised over £7,000 for the breast cancer charity.

💚 We attended the Baby & Toddler Shows across the UK, providing first aid demos and expert talks to tens of thousands of new and expectant parents.

💚 We won top awards at the BFA, Best Businesswoman, and Mother & Baby Awards and entered Elite Franchising’s Top 100

💚 In the space of a few weeks, we trained our entire network and adapted our lesson plans to reflect new CPR and choking technique guidelines introduced by the Resuscitation Council UK.

💚 Our team appeared on local radio stations across the UK this year, talking about all things first aid for babies and children and our lovely Kate collaborated with the incredible Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.

💚 Teddy instant cold pack arrived on the shelves!

💚 We joined the awesome female-founder network, Buy Women Built - so inspiring to see what women are creating, building and doing in the business and retail world and a real honour to be part of it.

💚 Our podcast surpassed 17,000 digital downloads - blown away!

💚 Most importantly of all - none of this would be possible without the work of our network across the UK and YOU! Our amazing audience and customers who chose this year to train with us, or follow us on socials, or chat to friends and family about the work that we do. Nothing is more important than spreading the word about learning how to save a life and you have helped us do this in so many ways in 2025.

Thank you 💚
