Simple Skills That Save Lives: Elevating First Aid Awareness, With Helen Underwood
Manage episode 464126494 series 2937891
Imagine having the power to save a life with just a few simple skills.
I’m joined by Helen Underwood, a former NHS physiotherapist turned first aid trainer, to discuss why first aid awareness is more crucial than ever. First aid isn’t just for paramedics—it’s for everyone. Helen shares essential insights on why first aid matters, from life-saving skills for parents to workplace responsibilities and mental health support. This episode is packed with actionable takeaways that could truly save lives.
Highlights:
- Simple skills, massive impact: Quick actions can prevent minor injuries from becoming life-threatening.
- The UK’s first aid gap: Fewer than 1 in 12 survive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest here—far lower than in many European countries.
- Legislation changes: UK businesses must now consider employees' mental wellbeing alongside physical health.
- Parents and first aid: Many lack basic knowledge—yet one simple skill can save a child's life.
- Choking fears: How to respond based on the child's size and age, without panicking.
- Common workplace mistakes: The myth of being sued for giving first aid, and why having too few trained responders is a bigger risk.
- First aid training as a business investment: It’s not just compliance—it’s about protecting staff, reducing absenteeism, and creating a safer workplace.
- Helen’s journey: From the NHS to launching a first aid training business, and why she’s passionate about education.
- First Aid for Parents: Helen’s digital course designed to equip parents and carers with the confidence to act in an emergency.
