Restart a Heart Day

Restart a Heart Day campaign is observed on the 16th of October every year with the aim to encourage more people to learn CPR and life-saving skills through first aid training.  Emergencies happen. On ordinary days, for ordinary people, life can change in a heartbeat. Imagine that you had absolutely no idea of what to do, never did first aid training, or let it go out of date. Imagine that your course hadn’t given you confidence, had been old-fashioned, stuffy or irrelevant. That is unthinkable to us. We believe that no one should ever feel anything less than confident in dealing with an ..read more

SkillBase First Aid Guide to Drowning
Our First Aid Blog – SkillBase First Aid
by Ceri Morris
1y ago
If someone were drowning, would you know what to do? When we become submerged in water, it can enter the lungs and cause suffocation. It should be noted that even after a water rescue, a casualty is still at risk, even if they appear to have recovered. Even a small amount of residual fluid left in the lungs can lead to lung irritation. This affects the oxygen transfer between the lungs and bloodstream. Even with an apparent full recovery from near-drowning, the casualty can still ‘secondary drown’ up to 72 hours later. If you have attended a SkillBase First Aid course, you should use your emer ..read more

What is Loneliness Awareness Week? Loneliness Awareness Week was launched in 2017 by the UK’s leading loneliness charity, Marmalade Trust which offers support for all ages and the only charity in the world specifically dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness. Why is it important? There is still a lot of misconception and stigma that surrounds the topic of loneliness. Marmalade Trust says…“Ask anyone to picture a lonely person and most will imagine an older person living on their own.  As such, we often rebuke and dismiss feelings of loneliness because ‘that doesn’t apply to me’.” By ..read more
