Out of hospital cardiac arrest kills thousands of people every year.
Simple first aid, done well, saves lives.
These steps are easy to follow but if you want to learn more, including how to use a defibrillator, drop me a line and see how I can help.

Having a Stroke can be absolutely debilitating and the person’s life can change beyond all recognition.
Please be aware of any changes you might see in your friends and family or even in people you see whilst out shopping.
Remember:
: B - Balance. Has the person’s balance been affected? Was there a sudden, splitting headache?
: E - Eyes. Has the person’s vision been affected?
: F - Face. Is there any obvious droop to one side of the person’s face?
: Arms. Can the person raise both arms up and (with their eyes closed) keep them there or does one of them drop?
: S - Speech. Is the person’s speech slurred?
: T - Time. Time to call an ambulance on 999 and tell the call handler what has happened. Time is brain cells. The sooner you get help, the more brain cells that can be saved

Please share, you could save someone’s life

Last night I had the pleasure once again of delivering some First Aid training to 1st Matchborough Scout Group (Michelle Hill), this time to the Cubs.
The children were well behaved, very keen and were an absolute delight to teach which is a credit to their Leadership team. Thank you for inviting me back.

: What breeds are more at risk

For more information drop us a line and perhaps we'll see you on one of our courses

Here is some of the information gathered from our research into heat illnesses in dogs, which breeds are most susceptible, and some tips on what to do for ea...
