Make First Aid your No 1 Priority

Effective Emergency First Aid Treatment before professional help arrives can go a long way to reducing the effects of illness and injury and indeed someone’s life.

Having staff  who have completed their First Aid Training may be the most important decision you make in your life!

It is important to know the true survival rates of sudden cardiac arrest victims who collapse out of hospital.

The current survival rate in the UK is around 6% .  That means 94% of victims die!

These rates can dramatically be improved if there are more people out there who are trained in CPR and the use of an Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED).

We currently have the following courses available and if there is anything that isn’t here that you need, please do contact us!
