First Aid Training in the Workplace

Employers in the UK are legally obliged to make first aid provision for their employees.

We offer training for Appointed Persons, First Aid at Work (FAW), Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid for Schools as well as risk assessment consultancy and manual handling training.

All our courses include AED and Oxygen Administration as standard.

First Aid Training for the Home

In the event of an accident or injury in your home, would you be prepared to save the life of a loved one?

Our courses in CPR, first aid and defibriliation are available for those caring for adults, children and infants, can be taken by people of any age, and are a fun way to learn a vital skill.

Professional event first aid cover

If you're planning an event - public or private - it’s hugely important to ensure the safety of your guests.

We offer a full service of first aid cover, from risk assessments to first aiders, EMT’s, paramedics, doctors and specialist water-rescue teams for events and media work near lakes or rivers.

All our staff are fully insured and undergo regular Enhanced CRB checks.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and time to treatment is critical in determining survival. For those who recieve CPR or defibrilation in the first 3-5 minutes after collapse the survival rate is over 50%^1,2, while the chances of successful resuscitation decrease by 10% for every minute post-collapse³. Ambulance response times for a Category A incident (including cardiac arrest) are subject to an 8 minute target, but thanks to modern traffic even this is difficult to achieve sometimes.

By ensuring that adequate first aid and CPR facilities exist on-site, survival rates can be as high as 74%¹ transforming your staff, family, friends or customers' survival chances from practically none to better than 1 in 2². Our first aid training incorporates the latest Resuscitation Council (UK), European Resuscitation Council and ILCOR guidelines, and uses a modern multimedia approach to ensure that training is serious but fun.

What's more, we incorporate oxygen administration and the use of automated external defibrilators (AED's) into all our courses as standard, giving you the maximum value for your training spend - and the greatest chance of helping a patient in distress.

Taught by instructors with real-world experience in providing first aid and emergency care in settings including hospitals, ambulances and remote environments, all our courses adhere to the latest syllabus guidelines of the Resuscitation Council (UK), European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). With clients including pharmaceutical companies, industrial and manufacturing companies and medical personnel, you can be sure that the training you'll get from first aid people is second to none, fully up-to-date (especially important if you have a legal duty of care in your working role) and delivered by instructors who can tailor your course to your needs.
