#firstaidtraining

Always a pleasure to work with Stokenchurch Medical Centre.

Our first aid training for the local community is still popular, after listening to feedback we now offer two half days, day one is BLS and day two, tops the course off to basic first aid.

We have a nice range of people, all sharing an interest in learning some basic, but important skills.

An end to a very good week working at the Skoll Foundation World Forum in Oxford.

Thames and Maidenhead BNI

I enjoy Friday mornings, not only a great breakfast but I always leave our BNI meeting feeling positive and excited about the coming week.

With the diverse membership and personalities there is always someone to help or advise.

Today was no exception, with a referral for a paediatric first aid course and advice on my printing needs and improving my website is s great group and resource.

Putting the Outdoor in Outdoor First Aid

#firstsidtraining

Lovely day with lovely weather and very nice people, at a location like a Disney film with deer, squirrels and plenty of birds for company we complete our Outdoor First Aid Course.

Our location was in the Bradenham area of the Chilterns an area of outstanding national beauty.

Participants included an adventure racer and a DofE assessor.  Really nice working with a small group as you can cover so much.

BNI Thames Maidenhead Networking

Another positive meeting with BNI in Maidenhead.

It is an early start but well worth it, the opportunity to meet and share referrals with other professionals is very positive and beneficial.

All with a  lovely breakfast.
