It's Feedback Friday! 🚨

We always love delivering a First Response course with Moorlands Scouts—training Scout leaders is always a highlight for us. Their commitment to keeping young people safe, willingness to learn, and calm approach under pressure make these sessions especially rewarding.

Our First Response course covers a wide range of essential first aid skills, including CPR, defibrillator use, shock, bleeding, fractures and sprains, head injuries, and dental incidents, as well as managing asthma, anaphylaxis, heart attack, stroke, seizures, diabetes, sepsis, and meningitis. ⛑️

Please take a moment to read some of the great feedback from one of our recent courses.

Great to know your little Scouts are in safe, capable hands.

💬 Time to Talk Day 2026 – Let’s Prioritise Mental Health 💬

Time to Talk Day is a reminder that small conversations can make a big difference.

For first aiders, mental health awareness is just as crucial as physical first aid. Responding to emergencies can be stressful, and recognising signs of distress in others—or ourselves—can save lives.

Being trained in first aid isn’t just about CPR and cuts; it’s about listening, supporting, and acting with empathy. First aiders can play a vital role in spotting anxiety, panic attacks, or emotional crises and guiding people towards the right support.

This Time to Talk Day, let’s commit to open conversations, reducing stigma, and looking after mental wellbeing—both for those we help and ourselves. Every chat counts. 💙

❄️ Raynaud’s Awareness Month ❄️

February is Raynaud’s Awareness Month, shining a light on a condition that affects blood flow to extremities, often triggered by cold or stress. While it may seem minor, Raynaud’s can become a serious concern in emergencies, particularly when first responders or first aiders encounter someone with sudden fingertip or toe colour changes, numbness, or pain.

Understanding Raynaud’s is vital for first aid training. Quick recognition can prevent misdiagnosis or delayed care. Emergency responders trained to spot signs like pale, blue, or red fingers and toes can provide appropriate care—warming the affected areas safely and monitoring for complications.

At Abacus Training, we emphasise inclusive first aid, preparing responders for a variety of conditions. Awareness ensures that everyone, from colleagues to the public, receives timely, informed support when it matters most.

💡 Tip for first aiders: Keep warm packs accessible, avoid sudden cold exposure, and always monitor circulation during care.

Raise awareness this February and help make first aid truly responsive to everyone’s needs. Please share this post and help spread the word!

✨ Testimonial Tuesday ✨

There’s nothing we love more than sharing fantastic feedback — and this week’s shoutout goes to the Scout Leaders at Lichfield Scouts 🙌

We delivered the first Scouts First Response course of the year, and the feedback from leaders has been brilliant. 💪🚑

Hearing such positive feedback from Scout leaders reminds us exactly why these sessions matter. Your commitment to developing safe, capable and confident Scouts makes a real difference 👏

A huge thank you to the Lichfield Scout leadership team for such a positive start to the year. We’re looking forward to many more courses ahead!

❤️ Hands On Hearts - Keep Them Beating!❤️

In the UK, over 90,000 out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrests occur each year, and currently fewer than 1 in 10 people survive without timely action.

Shockingly, millions of UK adults have never learned CPR, and many wouldn’t feel confident to act in an emergency — even though 80% of cardiac arrests happen at home, where loved ones are most likely to need help.

What better a time to focus on heart health and life‑saving skills like CPR and AED use.

For first aiders and responders, Heart Month is more than awareness: it’s a call to action. Knowing how to perform high‑quality CPR and use an AED can dramatically improve someone’s chance of survival — early defibrillation can increase survival rates up to 70 %.

At Abacus Training, our CPR & AED courses give you the skills, confidence, and hands‑on practice to respond effectively when every second counts.
