Boxing Day at Stamford Bridge

#eventcover

Working for ERS Medical covering Premier League Football at Stamford Bridge.

2:0 to Chelsea against West Ham, fantastic match from the start. Chelsea seemed to have the upper hand from the off.

On way home through London traffic.

Keep safe this Christmas

#parentfirstaid

Keep safe this Christmas, little people like to put things in their mouthes.  Small batteries can not only choke them but burn soft tissue.

Best to keep them out of reach and avoid accidents.

#firstaidatwork

Day one of a two day First Aid At Work re qualification with AED certificate, for staff at the Berkshire College of Agriculture (BCA) near Maidenhead.

The team got to practice CPR, AED and choking, with a smidge of bleeding and shock in the afternoon.  Vinnie Jones made a guest appearance albeit on the Hard and Fast video, this was not as popular as the neoprene choking suits.

Day two will be covering sprains and strains, burns with a celebration of learning to finish the day off.

Looking forward to an Emergency First Aid At Work course with staff from the Horse Trust on Saturday, and completing the last day of a First Aid At Work course with Community First Responders from the Ambulance Service on Sunday.
