American Heart Association - CPR & First Aid

It can be a very varied life being a self employed instructor and medic. This week I have worked on an ambulance, covered primary care supporting GP's, removed an ear bud from someone's ear and taught GP's and nurses BLS. Looking ahead, more primary care, a rugby festival and teaching first aid.

“Don’t move them!” used to be the golden rule for spinal injuries — but wilderness medicine has moved on.

The latest guidance from the Wilderness Medical Society (2024) and UK ambulance services (RCSEd 2025) now focuses on spinal-cord protection, not rigid immobilisation.
✅ Self-extrication is often safer than being lifted.
✅ Airway and hypothermia take priority over “perfect stillness.”
✅ Collars and long boards are now for very limited use.

⚠️ Does your workplace training really tick the compliance boxes?
Outdoor and adventure organisations have a duty to keep staff and clients safe — and regulators are looking for more than just a tick in the box.

We’ve just published a new blog breaking down what compliance really means (and how to make it easier for your team).

👉 Read here: https://www.inveniotraining.co.uk/blog/compliance-in-outdoor-education-why-it%E2%80%99s-the-backbone-of-safe-adventure/

Learn why compliance matters in outdoor education. OEAP guidance, EVAs, and first aid training keep staff, schools, and adventurers safe.

🧠 "I’m fine!"
Famous last words after a knock on the head… but in the hills, fine isn’t good enough.

Whether it’s a trip, a fall, or a poorly ducked branch, head injuries can go from nothing to serious — fast. As an outdoor first aider, knowing how to spot the signs of concussion, when to evacuate, and how to monitor in the field could make all the difference.

🚨 Do they seem dazed?
🚨 Were they briefly unconscious?
🚨 Headache, nausea or just not quite right?

If in doubt, sit them out. The brain doesn’t bounce.

After a weekend of events, The Horse Trust and Yatterdon Classic Cars. Three days of primary care work.

It's really hot,so checking in with vulnerable patients.

We had a very hot but amazing day at the Horse Trust open day.

Started with a Lancaster Bomber fly past and then all things horses.

Everyone was looking after themselves in the heat.
