Do you know how to help someone in shock?

Shock is a serious medical emergency and knowing what to do in those first few minutes can make a big difference.

In our latest blog, we explain:

✔️ What medical shock is (and how it’s different from emotional shock)
✔️ The warning signs to look out for
✔️ The correct first aid steps to take while waiting for emergency help

Whether you’re at work, at home, or out and about, this is essential first aid knowledge.
