Recently, Inspire Learning hosted an Emergency First Aid at Work course for Inspire Staff members! 🩹

The course took place at Inspire Beeston Library , and welcomed staff from across lots of different teams here at Inspire!

The course covered essential life-saving procedures which can be carried out during an emergency, empowering those in attendance to be able to act in stressful situations.

With 2026 being Inspire's 10th year, we're taking every opportunity possible to bring our staff together from across various Inspire services, to strengthen the Inspire community even more so that we can continue to do our best for our customers!

It was really lovely to learn important skills whilst getting to know each other better over CPR techniques and biscuits! 🍪😅

If you're interested in courses which support your health and wellbeing, Inspire Learning has lots of courses starting soon, from Reiki, relaxation and meditation, to creative hobbies to help you unwind!
