🚑 A few quick actions can save a life. When 80-year-old Rick collapsed on his morning walk, two cyclists nearby acted fast, calling 111, starting CPR, and using an AED. Rick survived because his community was ready.

🚑 First aid saves lives. In honour of World First Aid Day (13 September), we’re sharing three real stories where MediTrain training made the difference:
- A student calmly saved a baby choking in the supermarket
- A brother performed CPR on the rugby field and saved his sibling’s life
- A class worked together to save a life during training itself
These moments remind us why first aid matters — it gives you the skills and confidence to act when every second counts.
First aid isn’t just for the workplace — it can save someone you love.
