Graham’s Greatest Tips – Tip #1

Each month, Graham will be sharing one of his favourite first aid tips — the things he thinks everyone should know, but not everyone does.

And to kick things off, we’re talking CPR…

If you’re performing CPR, effective chest compressions are essential. Don’t let the fear of causing injury stop you from pressing firmly enough.

Great job lads! 👏👏
The more defibs that are available in the community, the bigger the chance of potentially saving someone’s life.

Waxx Barbershop & Record Store in Shildon have had a publicly accessible defibrillator installed on the outside of their shop, meaning it will be available to the local community in an emergency.

It's Solar Eclipse day, so we wanted to post to remind everyone to view the spectacle safely.
It turns out that two short-sighted people trying to take a selfie in eclipse glasses brings it's own hazards, we couldn't see a thing, so also, try not to fall over!

Enjoy everyone!

Such an inspirational story.

Charlie, aged 15, has saved the life of not one, but two of his friends, after learning basic first aid skills from his parents. They must be immensely proud of him.

A reminder that you never know when even the most basic first aid techniques could become life-savers and that you're never too young to learn.

Charlie, 15, from Blackpool, helped save two of his friend's lives in separate incidents.

Many of us have grown up believing first aid advice that just isn't true.
While some myths seem harmless, others could delay the right treatment or potentially make matters worse.

Did you know…

❌You can't swallow your tongue during a seizure.
❌You don't need formal training to use a defibrillator.
❌Squeezing a bee sting isn't the best way to remove it.

All good things deserve a sequel and so our latest blog, Common First Aid Myths (and What You Should Do Instead) – Part 2, separates fact from fiction and explains what you should really do if someone needs your help.
