Excellent days training at the Horse Trust, plenty of scenarios to ensure confidence and skill set. Everyone passed and will receive a FAAW+E (Equine) certificate.

Very festive with Santa, Elves, Reindeer and a storm trooper.

Lovely day at the Horse Trust near Speen. Day two of a three day First Aid at Work course.
Lots of interesting scenarios even managed to incorporate a tractor.

What a lovely day. The People's Postcode Lottery had £3 million to give away today, it was fantastic to see life changing sums of money being given to local people. The lottery also gives money to several charities, all in all very worthwhile.
The venue was West Wycombe Park, apparently the marquee is the one used in the Great British Bake Off.
It has been a busy few weeks, several frontline shifts and lots of admin. Looking ahead more frontline shifts, training in Newbury and a First Aid At Work Requalification at BCA.

We covered a half marathon at the weekend. Three static teams at the start, 10k and half marathon finishes with a mobile team to cover the route around the canals from Aylesbury to Wendover.
Working with the Canals and River Trust who had arranged a great event, which had 500 runners, the weather really helped with the atmosphere.
#firstaidatwork
Second FAAW at BCA for new and existing staff.
Always a great venue, not as hot as the last course but we managed to get outside for much of the day.
Last day tomorrow, assessments and scenario's.

Always a pleasure working for Fightmedics and the Troxy in London is a great venue.
An evening of great fighting mostly MMA with some K1, including several title fights.
#firstaidtraining
This has been a busy week for us with schools going back and staff needing training.
We've provided first aid training for Oldfield School in Maidenhead and working for Salvus I spent two days in London at Heathside Preparatory School.
We provided medical cover at an event in Stoke Mandeville where the Heritage Flame for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games is being hosted.
A Paralympic athlete ignited the Heritage Flame in front of an audience of 1500 at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium, thousands more in Aylesbury's Vale Park and millions across the globe in September.
Looking ahead Saturday I'm working at the Troxy in London for Fightmedics covering MMA, Sunday a paediatric course for our NCT group and next week back to BCA for a FAAW.
#firstaidtraining
Last day of training for BCA staff, the weather held and we managed most of the day outside.

Really enjoyable course, looking forward to the next one.

This is our third year working with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People providing opportunities for local children to experience life at The Grange and working with dog's.
It has been popular, the weather helped along with the amazing staff and wonderful dogs. It wouldn't have been possible without a group of lovely young people all with a common interest in dogs.
