🩸 HAVE YOU SEEN A BLEED-CONTROL KIT?

You may have started noticing them appearing alongside defibrillators in public places.

And honestly? That’s fantastic. But we need more.

❤️ A defibrillator can provide vital support when someone is in cardiac arrest.

🩸 A bleed-control kit contains specialist equipment that can help someone who is experiencing life-threatening bleeding.

And in both situations, those first few minutes can make a huge difference.

Bleed-control kits are becoming more accessible, but they’re still nowhere near as familiar or widespread as defibrillators.

We’d love to see that change.

More kits.
More awareness.
More people trained to use them.

Because when catastrophic bleeding happens, you can’t afford to simply wait for an ambulance to arrive.

Knowing what to do — and having the right equipment available — could help save a life.

🩸 Would you know what to do if someone was bleeding heavily?

This is exactly why we’re passionate about teaching life-saving first aid. 🚑❤️

📍 HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!

The more locations we share, the more people will know where to look if they ever need one. ❤️🩸

⛑️A Private Mini First Aid class was held today for these lovely folk. There is a new baby in the household and both the parents, aunty and grandparents wanted to get clued up with all the latest first aid guidance!
💚The class covered all aspects of first aid, minor and serious situations and we had a lovely afternoon sharing stories and advice over 3 hours!!!! 🤪
💚Our classes are advertised as 2 hours but we are always more than happy to answer questions, share stories and perfect techniques that we talk about.

💚It was my absolute pleasure to train this lovely family and to meet the new addition! 💙

Thankyou for having me x

Why would you hesitate when it comes to giving CPR?
You might assume that you would naturally jump in and help if you thought someone needed CPR but there are several reasons why people are often reluctant.
💚 They don’t know what to do. This is a biggie, and a reason that we are passionate about changing through teaching first aid techniques!
💚 They misinterpret breathing. When someone is in cardiac arrest and needs CPR, they will be unconscious and not breathing, but there is something known as ‘agonal breathing’ which is a brainstem reflex, a dying gasp if you like, that signals cardiac arrest rather than survival. Research shows this can be misinterpreted as the patient breathing and can cause critical delays in CPR initiation.
💚 They are scared they will do it wrong or hurt the person. You may not get the perfect technique, you may break ribs, but in this emergency situation, doing something is ALWAYS better than doing nothing.
💚 They are worried about touching another person on the chest. This is particularly the case if the patient is a woman, which is why only 68% of women are likely to receive CPR from bystanders compared with 73% of men.
💚 The ‘Bystander Effect’ means that people are less likely to help a person in distress when other people are present. The more witnesses there are to an emergency or crime, the less likely any single person is to step in and offer aid, with everyone looking to others and seeing how they respond.
Would any of these reasons make you reluctant to step in if you saw someone in cardiac arrest?

When Mini First Aid franchisee Julia's son Tom was born, a routine newborn check revealed he had bilateral syndactyly, a condition where fingers are joined together. It wasn't picked up during pregnancy, there was no family history, and suddenly they found themselves navigating appointments, X-rays and surgery.

In this week's heartfelt blog, Julia shares their family's journey, from diagnosis through to recovery, and the one thing she wants every parent to know - that children are incredibly resilient.

Please swipe to learn more about syndactyly, and visit our blog to read more about Tom's inspiring story 💚

Thank you to Julia Mini First Aid Salford, Bury & Bolton for sharing her story.
