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 would like to tell you how much I enjoyed the course. Glen was an exceptional teacher. He made us all feel comfortable and supported us as well as preparing us for the assessments. I felt confident in his ability and he seemed very knowledgeable answering all of our many questions. I was very pleasantly surprised how interesting this course was. Glen made the course engaging, his descriptions were clear, his feedback was always constructive and he was always very positive and cheerful even at 9pm on a Monday. I will be recommending this course to others and would like you to pass on my thanks to Glen. He is truly an asset to your company.
