🎉 Happy Burns Night! 🥂

Tonight, we celebrate the life and legacy of Scotland's beloved bard, Robert Burns, with a feast of tradition, poetry, and song. 🎶✨ Whether you're enjoying a plate of haggis, neeps, and tatties, raising a dram of whisky, or reciting his timeless verses, let the spirit of the night bring us all together.

Here's to friendship, culture, and the words of Burns:
"A man's a man for a' that."

How are you celebrating this special night? Share your Burns Night traditions below! 👇

Did you know women are less likely to receive CPR because people worry about touching their chest?

Research shows that a third of men are concerned they might be accused of "inappropriate" touching when performing chest compressions on a woman in cardiac arrest. This hesitation can be life-threatening.

At Vital Signs First, we use the Practi-Man manikin with a female form to tackle this issue. This innovative training tool helps break down barriers, normalising CPR/AED techniques for women and improving survival rates.

I'm closing my Twitter (X) account. I cannot in good conscience continue to support someone, Elon Musk, who is attempting to buy the US elections!
