Hello, we hope all is going well with your training.

Please visit the “Resource” area – we have made some recent updates to some of the support resources.

First Aid Updates

Recently we had an umbrella trainer who mentioned that they’d like to see more updates from us on changes to first aid procedures.

We always endeavour to keep people up to date, but the bottom line is that actually they don’t change very often. The Resus Council (UK) will look at their side of things i.e. BLS, AED, choking etc every four years. The last changes occurred in 2021.

The Voluntary Aid Societies i.e. St John and Red Cross tend to look after other bits such as burns, bleeding, etc. They have not put out any changes for a few years.

Sometimes trainers think there have been changes based on what they see/hear other trainers doing – in the vast majority of cases these prove to be mistakes or misunderstandings regarding correct and current protocols.

We will keep you updated as and when things change.

In the meantime, check out:

Remember on your Study Days you can always ask our tutor to clarify any questions you may have.

Thanks for all your support – I hope you’re training is going well.

Best regards

Moving Casualties Update

We’re currently involved in an investigation whereby two people have moved a casualty and it’s potentially made their injuries worse.

I can’t go into too much detail, but it involves the driver of a vehicle that rolled down a hill. The two people that went to help the driver had received first aid training but they took it upon themselves to get the driver out of the cab. They then drove him four miles over rough terrain before leaving him on his own to await an ambulance!!! I know – it’s crazy but it happened.

You must make sure that your learners know NOT “to move casualties unnecessarily” they should only move them if:

1 The casualty is in further danger and that danger can’t be controlled,

2 They need to make a live saving intervention i.e. carry out BLS, roll them into the recovery position, apply a tourniquet, etc.

To make sure they understand you should mention this several times during a course.

Thanks for all your support.

I hope you’re keeping well.

Happy New Year to you

Regarding the new 2025 Resus Guidelines. We are nearly ready with the updated resources – in the meantime I would strongly suggest carrying on training the old guidelines until we are fully ready to launch. We are not obliged to implement the changes immediately, so it’s worth taking the time to make sure we are ready.

Best regards

New 2025 Resus Council (UK) guidelines

After a lot of hard work, we are now ready to go live with the new 2025 Resus Council (UK) guidelines.

The portal now has the fully updated PowerPoints and manuals.

In addition, the on-line learning has been amended to come into line with your classroom delivery.

There is also a handout and a copy of the slides that have been amended or included on the portal. No need for you to copy the slides in – the handout just provides a quick reference guide.

It should all be self-explanatory – any questions please ask.

I hope your training goes well.
