On the 18−20 June, three members of the C&M team completed the British Red Cross ‘First Aid at Work’ course. The course involved hands-on and scenario-based learning that threw attendees in the deep end but increased their confidence in being able to handle any situation requiring first aid. A lot of fun was had over the three days from interpreting scenarios (who knew shopping trolleys could be so dangerous), creatively bandaging wounds, drawing our own educational posters and making incredibly difficult revision questions for the opposing team (our team won). The course was a valuable experience with life-saving lessons for in the field, at the office and wherever we may be. I certainly feel safer with these two around!
