🕷 If you’ve been bitten by a tick, remove it as soon as possible using a tick removal tool or fine-tipped tweezers. If using fine tipped tweezers grasp. the tick close to the skin and pull upwards steadily. Do not twist or crush the tick, and avoid using heat, oils, or creams.

After removal:
✅ Clean the bite area with antiseptic or soap and water
✅ Record the date and location of the bite
✅ Monitor for symptoms such as a rash, flu-like illness, or fatigue in the following weeks

If you develop any symptoms, contact your GP promptly. Lyme disease is easier to treat in its early stages.

It’s not something people would immediately think of but with the unusually hot weather lately, it’s worth sharing. This baby suffered 2nd degree burns over 30% of his body from being accidentally sprayed with a garden hose.
A garden hose exposed to direct sunlight during summer can heat the water inside the hose (not flowing) to 130-140 degrees Fahrenheit which can cause burns especially to children & animals.
Let the water flow a few minutes to cool before spraying on people or animals.
Also be careful of metal fittings such as on seatbelts.

Current best practice for burns is,

Cool for at least 20 minutes with tepid water
Remove anything not stuck to skin.
Dress with cling film or wet dressings and contact Emergency services.

Do not apply creams or lotions.

🎉 Happy 65th Birthday, Resusci Anne! 🎉

The queen of CPR training, the mannequin with more facelifts than Madonna and still breathing (sort of)… Resusci Anne turns 65 this year! 👵💉🫀

Born in 1960, Annie has helped millions learn the art of bringing people back from the brink — without ever once rolling her eyes or asking for a tea break. Over the years, she’s had a few upgrades (who hasn’t?), but she’s still lying there, chest out, ready to take one for the team. 😅

From classroom floors to ambulance stations across the UK, she’s been pummelled, ventilated, and occasionally left in the corner looking like she’s had a really bad shift… and yet, she never complains.

So here’s to 65 years of squashed noses, broken ribs (training only, we hope), and the woman who taught us all to "check for danger" without ever uttering a word. 💚

Cheers, Annie — you absolute legend. 🥂🫶

Did you know that the HSE guidelines state that employers should ensure their first aiders remain competent to perform their role? As such, it is strongly recommended that first aiders undertake annual refresher training. The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (Annual Refresher) (RQF) qualification allows qualified first aiders to update their first aid skills yearly, until requalification training is required. Successful candidates will leave with a renewed confidence, having refreshed the first aid skills needed to deal with emergency situations.

It’s that time of year again when mini eggs are lining the supermarket shelves. But, did you know that, just like grapes, they are the perfect size to block a small child’s airway and choke them? And, their hard shell can make it difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.
With whole grapes we advise cutting them in half lengthways and ideally into quarters to create thin strips. But chopping up mini eggs isn’t as easy. So, what can you do?
1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself – good luck with that!
2. Put the mini eggs into a sealable plastic bag and smash them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar.
3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.
