Sharing Good News: First Aid Training Saves Life with Local Retailer

At First Response First Aid Ltd we love a good news story. Because, let’s face it, there’s plenty of negativity out there at the moment.

One of our First Response First Aid trainers delivered a first aid course with a local retailer last week. We recently heard the good news that a course participant put their first aid training into practice with successful results. See how the story unfolded below, with four life changing lessons to remember.

1. First Aid Training Can Save Lives

We love businesses that invest in their staff AND invest in the well-being of their customers by having properly qualified first aiders.

The trainer said that one of the course delegates had recently put her training into practice and used the defibrillator.

2. Emergency Preparation is Worth Investing In

We love that the local retailer had invested in the well-being of their staff and customers by having an on-site defibrillator.

3. Learning Something New Can Be Life Changing

The casualty survived! We love the fact that the people who undertake our courses come away with skills and knowledge plus the confidence to use them in real life situations.

When the person had fully recovered, they came back to the store to thank the first aider with a large bouquet.

4. Practicing Gratitude Benefits Everyone

Did you know that when we take the time to regularly practice gratitude by reflecting on what we are thankful for, we feel more positive in our emotions? Therefore, this can help to improve our sleep and immune system so we can feel more alive and express more signs of kindness and compassion*.

We would love for you to share your good news stories with us! Let’s spread some positivity…

I am writing to offer some feedback around the recent training that Nigel recently received courtesy of SMBC Early Years. Nigel has a training background himself and he came back from the course full of compliments for ‘Glenn’ from First Response, he said the trainer was supportive, informative and very professional. He delivered the course at an even pace to cater for the participants learning need, he demonstrated patience when members in the group did not fully understand anything, the occasions for which were in themselves few and far between. The course was enjoyable and he certainly benefited from the updates that it included. We will be recommending your services.

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.

Trainer made the subjects easy to follow and explained things very well. Brian made everyone feel at ease so doing the practicals was more relaxed and easy to follow. I felt the assessments throughout were thorough but not intimidating.

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for making the arrangements in regards to the First Aid Course last week. The course was super and went very well. The instructor was a great help and his style of instruction was excellent and enjoyed by all.

Brian delivered the course content in a highly informative manner. Excellent opportunities to practice CPR techniques and bandaging skills.

Fiona, First Aid at Work course

Just completed a 3 day course and would like to thank Mick for all his hard work. His delivery and instruction was precise however it was his humour and friendliness which made it memorable. He gave us all so much confidence and assistance , I feel properly trained to cope with anyone needing first aid. Can’t thank you enough Mick. See you in 3 years.
