A Brief History
Where We Started
First Aid Bristol is a family run business that has been training people in first aid for over 15 years. It was started by Indie Lyndale, who has over 30 years' experience as a teacher, lecturer, mountaineering leader and outdoor instructor.
During her time working in various organisations, she experienced poor quality first aid training on countless occasions. There needed to be a different way!
First aid training should be exciting and engaging because responding in an emergency is serious stuff. You need to recall your training clearly, in order to act quickly and confidently. We know from experience, that sitting through long, boring sessions, reading from work books, is not going to lead to long-term learning. That's where we come in.
This course should be considered for staff who work within in healthcare setting, that require basic training to assist more competent staff apply basic life support techniques until emergency service intervention.
Our BLS Training is designed for those who require a basic knowledge in how to provide lifesaving first aid to someone who is unresponsive.
The fact is, AED’s save lives. Research shows that if you can get a Defibrillator to a casualty within 3 minutes, the success rate goes up to a staggering 75%.
Modern AED’s (Automated External Defibrillators) are becoming more common throughout the workplace and public places. They are straightforward to use and when needed casualty survival rates dramatically increase if an AED is available and if you have appropriately qualified personnel to use it.
