🚨 WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SOMEONE STARTED CHOKING?

A recent Sky News article has highlighted a worrying issue: around 300 people die in England every year as a result of choking, according to St John Ambulance.

It also highlights how a lack of confidence and knowledge can mean people don't know how to respond when someone is choking.

Would you know what to do? 🤔

Emergencies can happen anywhere — at home, at work, in a restaurant or when you're simply out with friends and family.

That's why learning basic first aid and lifesaving skills is so important ❤️

We have two training opportunities coming up in September:

🩹 LEVEL 3 EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK – ACCREDITED

📅 Thursday 3rd September 2026
⏰ 8:45am – 4:30pm

Ideal for workplaces looking to ensure they have trained and qualified first aiders on site.

❤️ BASIC LIFE SUPPORT TRAINING

📅 Friday 4th September 2026
⏰ 11:00am – 1:00pm

Learn essential skills including:

✅ CPR
✅ How to use a defibrillator
✅ Recovery position
✅ Basic emergency response

💷 Courses from just £10 per person

📍 Access To Business, 51 Tempest Street, Wolverhampton, WV2 1AA

You never know when someone might need your help. Having the knowledge and confidence to respond in those crucial first few minutes could make all the difference.

Would you know what to do? Why not learn the skills that could one day help you save a life?

St John Ambulance says hundreds of people die in England every year due to choking, but that number could be reduced with more public knowledge of how to perform abdominal thrusts and back blows.
