Learning corner!!

The chest cavity is formed by 12 pairs of ribs on each side and the sternum, which wraps around to connect with the spine. The primary muscles involved in respiration are the intercostal muscles, located between the ribs, and the diaphragm. The intercostal muscles assist in expanding and contracting the chest cavity. When the diaphragm contracts, it creates negative pressure within the chest, drawing air into the lungs. The phrenic nerve, consisting of a left and a right nerve, provides the necessary signals for the diaphragm to contract and relax.

This is a sad time for all responders, this shouldn’t be about religion or political views, this is about people who go out and help people, these vehicles were critical in saving lives. Let’s not see this again 🙏

A lot of people hesitate during CPR because they’re unsure what to do about clothing, especially bras.

Here’s the truth: early defibrillation saves lives, and a bra should never be a barrier to using an AED.

If the pads can be placed on bare skin without removing it, great.

If not, remove it quickly and confidently.
Lifesaving beats embarrassment every single time.

This is exactly the kind of real‑world scenario we teach on every NAPA Medical course.

Because confidence doesn’t come from guessing, it comes from practice, clarity, and knowing what to do when seconds matter.

Let’s normalise the conversation and empower more rescuers.

🚑 Over the past three days, our training team has had the pleasure of working with colleagues from across Ports of Jersey Airport in a comprehensive First Aid at Work course.

Participants from a range of roles came together to learn the skills needed to respond confidently in the first moments of a medical emergency. With thousands of passengers travelling through the airport every month, having team members trained and ready to act can make a real difference.

A huge well done to everyone who took part – your commitment to learning these life-saving skills helps make the airport a safer place for passengers, visitors, and colleagues alike.

There are now a few more superheroes in hi-viz around the terminal, equipped with the knowledge and confidence to step in when it matters most. 👏
