⚡ Would you know what to do if someone suddenly collapsed in front of you?

Many people worry about using a defibrillator, but public access defibrillators are designed for anyone to use. Simply switch it on and follow the voice instructions.

A defibrillator will only deliver a shock if it's needed, making it safe and easy to use in an emergency.

Knowing how to respond quickly could help save a life before the ambulance arrives.

Want to feel prepared rather than panicked? Join a Mini First Aid course and learn CPR, defibrillator awareness, and other essential lifesaving skills.

💚More than 40,000 people experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK every year, yet fewer than 1 in 10 survive.

In a cardiac arrest, every minute matters. Without CPR or defibrillation, survival chances decrease by around 10% for every minute that passes.

The good news? Quick action from bystanders can make all the difference.

Learning CPR and understanding how to use a defibrillator could help you save the life of a loved one, colleague, neighbour, or even a stranger.

Ready to gain lifesaving skills and confidence? Book a Mini First Aid course today and learn what to do in an emergency.

More than 10 million drivers don’t know how to put someone in the recovery position, and only 56% said they feel confident performing CPR.*

Yet every day, millions of us get behind the wheel, confident we’ve passed the test that says we’re “safe” on the road.

But what happens when you’re first at the scene of a crash?

What’s important before emergency services arrive is not just putting out the hazard lights or warning triangles, it’s the people who may need you to keep them alive or safe from further harm. Would you know how to help someone who isn’t breathing properly? Would you know how to keep them safe?

Passing your driving test proves you can drive but learning first aid proves you can respond when it really matters and now the driving theory test in the UK doesn’t just test your driving, it also tests your ability to save a life.

Learn adult first aid with us and be prepared!

Doctors warn that food is responsible for over half of all fatal choking accidents, with grapes the third most common cause of death in food-related incidents.*

Whole grapes are a dangerous choking hazard for babies, toddlers and young children.

The size and shape of grapes means that they can completely plug a child’s airway. The tight seal produced by the grape’s smooth surface makes them difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques.

Young children are particularly vulnerable to choking on a grape because:

• They don’t have a full set of teeth and are still learning to chew properly.
• Their swallow reflex is still developing.
• Their airway is very small.

To cut grapes safely, cut in half lengthways and ideally into quarters. Do not simply cut in half widthways. Or buy a grape cutter gadget like the one in this video! 💚

🛁 Bath time should be fun, but it's important to remember that it can also be one of the highest-risk places for young children.

⛑️An average of one child drowned at home every month between 2019 and 2023, with most incidents involving children under five and many occurring in the bath.

⛑️A common misconception is that drowning is noisy and obvious. In reality, it can happen quickly and silently.

⛑️If you need to leave the bathroom, even for a moment, take your child with you.

⛑️Bath seats can help support a child during bath time, but they are not safety devices and do not replace close adult supervision.

💧 It’s Drowning Prevention Week, let's help spread these potentially life-saving messages.

12/06/2026

Why are we talking about water safety now?

Because nearly half (46%) of all accidental drownings in the UK in 2022 happened during the summer months of June, July and August.

As temperatures rise, more people spend time around rivers, lakes, reservoirs, beaches, paddling pools and swimming pools. While water can be a great way to stay active and cool down, it also brings risks that are often underestimated.

A moment's distraction can have devastating consequences.

As we head towards Drowning Prevention Week (13–20 June), we're sharing simple water safety messages to help keep children, families and communities safe this summer.

Please take a moment to watch, share and talk about water safety with your family and friends.

Together, we can help prevent drowning.
