I actually keep a professional grade tourniquet in my handbag, and one in my car (driver's side) door;(and have done for over a year now), although I don't expect you all to do the same. But Keep U Safe Solutions does suggest you all to consider taking First Aid Training Classes, which now should have tourniquet training as standard. If it does not, then I want to know why not!

DO NOT COVER YOUR BABY'S PRAM WITH A BLANKET OR MUSLIN CLOTH - WARNING
The risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and overheating leading to infant death is dramatically increased when a young baby is exposed to intense heat - babies cannot regulate their own body heat. Which means that, while many parents believe they are sheltering their children from the sun, they could actually be placing them in more danger. Mosquito nets are safe as they allow air to circulate.
It is better to abandon the practice of using towels or thin blankets as a cover and instead place the pram in the shade, or invest in a parasol, as heat can rise dramatically in a short space of time.
Please stop doing this, encourage and educate others to stop and please share to raise this awareness.

The next time you hear someone complaining about health and safety, or whinging about too much red tape, or demanding that for every new regulation introduced, three are removed; when you hear someone say that it just costs too much to install sprinklers or fire doors or use fire-resistant materials, that profits are more important than safety; when firefighters, police and medical staff suffer cuts; when you are told that we can have low taxes AND good public services - think of this image. And pray for the people of Grenfell Tower.

This is CPR for a child (defined as 12mths- puberty) . It requires one handed compressions, at a rate of 100-120 compressions a minute. I usually sing Nelly the Elephant to keep the speed rate right! Be careful not to go too fast, or too slow and make sure you allow the chest to rise up fully before the next compression is made. PLEASE NOTE that this is a student still learning CPR , some tiny adjustments still need to be made to it; that said, it was a very, VERY, good effort! Well done Vicky, awesome job! If YOU want to learn how to do this and many other lifesaving skills, come on one of my courses!
Having fun , while learning a serious subject..CHOKING, - COMPLETE AIRWAY BLOCKAGE ... Though with all the laughing I am not sure that the role play acting by the casualty was so convincing! :-) On a serious note... 5 back blows, followed by 5 abdominal thrusts, just above the belly button. Make a fist with one and and cover it with the other hand and then pull in and upward. NEVER EVER PRACTICE ON ANYONE who is not choking! Here the students are using a special 'choking vest' which protects any students from harm, whilst allowing them to practice the techniques! NO ANIMALS, CHILDREN ,STUDENTS OR INSTRUCTORS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS FILM! :-) Photos including in link below. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=922116574581758&id=731528116973939
