It was great meeting this amazing group and delivering this course for them all 💪 The Emergency first aid at work course is an essential employability skill and it is fantastic to see that the College is investing in their pupils for post education 👏

Our Sports Level 2 students have passed their Emergency First Aid at Work qualification and received their certificates today 🥰

The qualification supports our students in gaining employment within the industry and will assist with their further development. Well done to them all 👏🏻

This week we delivered a 3 day First aid at work course for Jigsaw, Cumbria's Children's Hospice in Carlisle. Before turning up on Wednesday I felt I had to mentally prepare with this being a children’s hospice, however I wish I knew that I didn’t have to.

The team there are super friendly, and made me instantly feel welcome and comfortable. They are an incredible group and I had a lot of fun delivering this course for them all.

Thank you Eden Valley Hospice for making me feel so welcome 🙏 💙 You are a passionate group of people who have a special gift in making people feel comfortable and welcome 💙

Why Paradigm First Aid Training | North West is different 🧠🚑

Before first aid, my background was in education, training, and developing new coaches. One of the core models I taught was Bloom’s Taxonomy – a trusted framework for turning knowledge into real-world skills and behaviours.

Here’s the problem I see in a lot of first aid training ⬇️
Most providers stop at “understand”.
Learners can recall information… but struggle to use it when it really matters.

At Paradigm First Aid Training, Bloom’s Taxonomy is woven into everything we do:

✔️ We apply learning in realistic scenarios
✔️ Learners practise and refine new skills, not just watch them
✔️ We evaluate decisions under pressure
✔️ Peer teaching is used to deepen confidence and competence
✔️ Scenarios are adapted and redesigned to introduce variables you’d actually face in real life

The result?
Training that goes beyond ticking a box — and builds confidence, capability, and calm when it counts.

Because knowing what to do is one thing.
Being able to do it is what saves lives.

This week we have been at the amazing WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre delivering a two day First aid at work re qualification for their team.

It’s such an amazing place to have the pleasure to deliver at, especially with it being so local for us too. Local businesses, supporting one another at the heart of this work relationship 🦆 💙 thank you for choosing Paradigm first aid for your training needs

This week marked an exciting milestone for Paradigm.

I delivered a two-day internal Train the Trainer programme, expanding our provision to include trainer development alongside our established training services.

Drawing on over 15 years’ experience in education and training, the programme focused on practical delivery skills — planning effective sessions, understanding learner needs, confident communication, giving constructive feedback, and supporting trainers to develop their own style.

It was a genuinely rewarding experience to support the development of new trainers and to return to an area of work I care deeply about: building confident, competent training professionals.

I’m looking forward to continuing to develop this provision and supporting organisations who want to invest in the quality of their internal training delivery.

Last week, I attended my own First Aid at Work Requalification in Telford ✅

For Paradigm First Aid Training Limited, this isn’t just a tick-box exercise. To deliver accredited and regulated training, it’s essential that I not only maintain my own qualifications, but also stay fully up to date with industry changes and upcoming updates, several of which are coming into effect imminently.

Regular requalification ensures:

✅ Continued compliance with awarding body and regulatory requirements

⭐ Awareness of best practice and evolving guidance

💙 Training that is current, credible, and fit for today’s workplaces

For businesses, choosing a first aid provider shouldn’t be based on convenience or cost alone. It’s about credibility, compliance, and confidence that your training genuinely meets legal and professional standards.

That’s why working with a provider who actively invests in their own professional development really matters. 💪

This 👇 is what makes me tick as an individual. 💙

Yesterday I had the pleasure of delivering an Enrichment session for the year 5 at Lordsgate Township CE Primary School in Burscough for their PSHE curriculum on First aid.

Not only was this the proudest moment, having my little boy be part of the session, but he also wanted to get involved to peer to peer teach too. 👦 👨 he was so proud to have his dad there, I was so proud having my son next to me, demonstrating my passion for first aid in front of his class-mates. 🥹

Today was the icing on the cake when the year 5 took it upon themselves to make me a thank you card, signed by the class. ❤️

I love my job, I love my company, and I love it when I can do something community focused.

For me, I want children’s first taste of first aid training to be an enjoyable one, with smiles on their faces.

This is what Paradigm first aid values are all about 💙

Yesterday we collaborated with a fellow Skelmersdale Ambassador Stuart Energy. We delivered a Level 2 First aid for mental health course to equip their amazing team to support their fellow colleagues and peers for positive Mental Health in the workplace.

The team were put together strategically to ensure coverage in their organisation as it continues to grow. They were absolutely amazing, showing enthusiasm and willingness to learn whilst demonstrating high engagement to the topics.

When we collaborate with Organsaitions like Stuart Energy who are as committed to positive mental health implementation in the work place as we are at Paradigm, it shows that we are moving forwards as a society to make a better World 🌍

Thank you Jane Stuart-Puttnam for Organising this session, and for choosing Paradigm First aid 💙

This session was delivered by our Lead Mental Health Trainer Gemma who says that she is privileged to be a part of your organisations journey and development.

Today has been a great opportunity as we delivered our business awards finalists presentation to a panel of judges for the Red Rose Awards at Burnley Football club.

Today we delivered an Emergency first aid course for the amazing staff and team of volunteers at Northern Fells Group in Wigton near Carlisle.

It was a great group, with plenty of questions which was great to see. They are a passionate group, who really care about looking after the groups that they support in their area.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome 🙏

Today we delivered a Level 3 Paediatric Emergency first aid course at West Lancashire College for their T-Level education in Early years students, in order to support them with their career progression and employability skills post education.

With over 15 years experience working in further education, it was nice to be back in a familiar setting for the day too.
