Anaphylaxis including Adrenaline Auto-Injector Training (epi-pen)

I was on that course today, led by Bryan and Rob, and I just wanted to pass on how excellent it was. I practise a holistic therapy called "Bowen" and must hold at the very least the Emergency First Aid certificate in order to maintain my membership with the FHT. I did the initial training 3 years ago, and so had to re-train this year. Both trainings were with First Response First Aid, but I must say that I found today's training really very good. Brian and Rob offer 2 different styles of teaching, but they complement each other very well. Brian's understated but very witty way grabbed my attention for most of the day, and left me with no doubt that I had a very knowledgeable person in front of me. If Rob initially came across as a not so confident speaker, he immediately perked up as soon as it was down to practicing some skills, and his enthusiasm was very communicative. He also knows how to correct people's inaccuracy in their gestures in such a way that doesn't make them feel self-conscious, but rather encourage them to do better. The fact that he is a firefighter undoubtedly adds some perspective to his input. So I guess all I'm saying is thank you for providing such a quality training. I went home feeling rather confident with the thought of having to use those refreshed and updated skills; though I still hope not to have to use them.

I just wanted to let you know that Dan went down a storm on Wednesday and everyone really enjoyed the course. Please can you pass on my thanks to Dan and we look forward to session number 2 on Thursday next week.

Well what to say..... Thanks to First Response my training detected a broken wrist my 5 year old daughter had today. The injury happened at school all the teachers/first aiders failed to spot it. The injury happened 3 hours before I collected her no response from anyone at school but I did what I was taught by Brian and spotted the signs did a sweep only took 10 seconds. Poor girl was at school for 3 hrs with a fracture. 10 seconds with me and my training had her in A&E 20 minutes later. Cast on... Thank you for teaching me guys.

Tom was an excellent trainer he fed us with a wide range of first aid knowledge and I feel very confident going back with all the skills I have learnt.

Excellent three day first aid at work course Lead by Brian Denning. He’s an ex paramedic who’s served years on the Staffordshire ambulance teams so there’s not much he hasn’t seen or dealt with. The course was well balanced between practical tasks, videos, slideshows and conversation included plenty of anicdotes and stories of bryan dealing with actual emergencies as a PM. A very enjoyable course with the learning well paced for all. Absolutely first class and I have no reservation whatsoever in giving this company my strongest recommendation.

I feel more confident about my first aid than after previous courses I have been on. I'm impressed at how well Glenn coped with targeting content to a "Unique" team of people! He's a good sport!
