👋 There’s a few new faces here so I thought I’d say hello again!
🚑 I’m often asked if I have a medical background, and the answer is no, I do not.
🚨 Some people think you can’t be a good first aider without medical experience, and while medics can be great, I have to disagree. Medical environments are different; there’s teams of people, machines and instant readings. There’s medicines and equipment.
🌍 Out in the real world things are different! You just have yourself, maybe a few other people, a first aid kit and your imagination! Confidence and using those skills to the best of your ability makes all the difference.
💚 Hi, I’m Beth, owner of Mini First Aid Bristol. I don’t have a medical background, but boy oh boy do I have some life experience…
