❤️ WORLD HEART DAY ❤️

We all know how important it is to look after our hearts…

But do you know what to do if it stops?

Knowing CPR could help you respond in an emergency.

🫀 If someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally:

1️⃣ CHECK – Check for a response and normal breathing.

2️⃣ CALL 999 – Ask for an ambulance and send someone to get an AED/defibrillator if one is available.

3️⃣ START CPR – Place your hands in the centre of the chest and give 30 chest compressions.

⬇️ Push down 5–6 cm
⏱️ Aim for 100–120 compressions per minute
↗️ Allow the chest to fully recoil between compressions.

4️⃣ GIVE 2 RESCUE BREATHS if you are trained and able to do so, then continue with 30 compressions and 2 breaths.

5️⃣ USE AN AED as soon as one is available. Switch it on and follow its instructions.

Continue CPR until professional help takes over, the person shows signs of life, or you are unable to continue.

❤️ This World Heart Day, don't just think about keeping hearts healthy — learn what to do when a heart stops.

🎉 BIG birthdays this year…

🏙️ Salford turned 100
🎙️ Sir David Attenborough is 💯 today!!!

Both have spent a century observing human (and animals 🤭 behaviour)… and honestly, both have probably seen enough to know why First Aid and Health & Safety training are absolutely necessary 😅

Whether it’s:
⛑️ First Aid
⚠️ Health & Safety
🏊 NPLQ Lifeguard Training

…we’re helping people survive the wild every single day.

Helping workplaces, pools, and people stay safer for the next 100 years 🙌

And according to some people who’ve trained with Jodie… it feels like SHE’S been delivering training for over 100 years too 😂
