🤔 If you were a bystander, would you be able to make a difference?
Are you a bystander turned lifesaver?

🙄 You know those moments where everything happens at once?

One minute, it’s a normal day.
Next minute…
Someone’s got a cut finger that’s bleeding more than expected.
While you’re dealing with that, there’s a shout from the kitchen — a burn from a hot tray.
Then, as if on cue, someone else appears… head tilted back, tissue in hand — nosebleed.

And there I am, stood in the middle of it all thinking:
“Right… who do I help first?”
It wasn’t panic… but it definitely wasn’t confidence either.

That’s when it clicked —
first aid isn’t just about big emergencies, it’s the everyday situations where it really matters.

If you come across an unconscious casualty that is not breathing - it's time to start CPR while you wait for help to arrive!

➡️ Hand/s placed in the middle of the chest.�
➡️ 30 Compressions at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. (Follow the beat of the song Staying alive)

➡️ Compression depth:�
Adult: two hands, 5-6 cm�
Child (1-8yrs): one hand, 5cm�
Infant (0-1yrs): 2 fingers, 4cm�

➡️ For children/infants always start with 5 rescue breaths and then continue a cycle of 30 compressions, 2 breaths.

Choking can happen to anyone, at any time. Would you know how to help?

👉 Loud & red? Let them go ahead. If they’re coughing, they can still breathe—encourage them to keep coughing.
🚨 Silent & blue? They need help from you. If they’re struggling to breathe or can’t make a sound, it’s time to act. Call 999 and get to work..

For adults & children over 1 year old:
🔹 Stand behind them and lean them slightly forward.
🔹 Support their chest and give 5 sharp back blows between the shoulder blades.
🔹 If that doesn’t work, perform 5 abdominal thrusts—placing your fist above the belly button and pulling in and up.
🔹 Repeat the cycle until the object clears or help arrives.
🔹 If they become unconscious, start CPR immediately.

For babies under 1 year old:
👶 Lay them face down along your thigh and give 5 sharp back blows.
👶 If that doesn’t work, turn them onto their back and give 5 chest thrusts using two fingers in the centre of their chest.
👶 Repeat the cycle until the object clears or help arrives.
👶 If they become unconscious, start CPR immediately.

Once the object is cleared, always get them checked by a medical professional.

Choking is fast and silent—knowing these steps could save a life.

🚨 In an Emergency, it's time to Take SHAPE!

In first aid, we always check for Danger before approaching an emergency. But what should we really be looking for? That’s where the SHAPE acronym comes in!

➡️ Safety & Protection: Ensure safety for all. Protect yourself from risk of infection or any other adverse elements like gas or chemicals.�
➡️ Hazards: Be aware of hazards like electricity, traffic, chemicals, fire or gas�
➡️ Assess the situation: Assess the situation you are facing before rushing in�
➡️ Prioritise: Prioritise casualties. Checking for breathing takes priority�
➡️ Environment: Pay attention to the environment and don’t take risks. Running into a burning building or jumping into the water are endangering your life.
