For the next couple of weeks I would like to focus in on matters of the heart.

Did you know that lack of first aid training means that every year in the UK up to 140,000 lives are lost, that could have been saved – which is the same as the amount of people that die from cancer.

We have completed the secondary survey – and also the top to top check – we also must try and get a medical history if possible.

Head to Toe Check

This is a systematic examination of the patient, looking for evidence of injuries. Generally, follows a ‘look, listen, feel’ approach. Remember that everyone has a top, a bottom, two sides, a front, and a back. Injuries can also hide in corners.

Remember – The aim of the primary survey is to detect and treat immediately life threatening problems. The secondary survey aims to detect and treat ‘everything else’. Therefore the secondary survey should not be started until the primary survey is complete, repeated, and the patient as stable as possible.

Did you know that we are the only Qualified First Aid Training company in Shaw? Jane Rawlings Training Consultancy was set up at the start of 2017 with over 20 years of learning and development experience. We even trained the running man – Sports Physio UK’s mascot last week on life saving techniques including using an AED.

Following on from this week’s first aid blogs on strokes in which we covered the types of strokes there are and signs and symptoms of a stroke. This final first aid blog looks at First Aid Treatment.

Following on from yesterday’s blog on strokes and the different types of strokes – today’s First Aid blog looks at signs and symptoms and how for first aiders to recognize a stroke occurring.

The next two week’s topics are very close to my heart after my mum suffered from a stroke last year along with diabetes.

Our blogs are here as a reminder for qualified first aiders or as revision for people completing their first aid qualification.

Remember ASTHMA as your First Aid Checklist when dealing with a first aid incident

Remember that the first aid definition  is  “The treatment given for any injury, or sudden illness before the arrival of an ambulance, doctor or any other qualified person”.

Following on from our defibrillator article, we thought we would highlight the CPR guide as a reminder to our First Aiders.

We seem to be continually battling with the misinformation that defibrillators are quite frightening and could make the situation worse. This is so far from the truth, that it would be laughable, except that this misconception potentially costs lives. Let’s look at some of the myths we have had heard whilst talking about them!

We have over twenty years training experience. Our first aid training supports the British Resuscitation Council’s aim to save lives, prevent and reduce suffering and increase the wellbeing and resilience of people in the UK. Learning first aid can help you feel more prepared and able to cope in an emergency situation. For businesses, it can also help manage risks and reduce time lost due to illness or injury.
