PEOPLE in Malvern have been invited to share their real-life stories of using first aid to help babies and children.
The appeal has been made by St John Ambulance which teaches first aid to hundreds of thousands of people in the workplace and in the community. This act of first aid could be anything from dealing with an infant who is choking or has stopped breathing, to stemming a severe bleed for a child.
Emma Elgerton, regional community training co-ordinator for St John Ambulance in the West Midlands, said: “Real-life examples of skills which have saved the lives of babies and young children will help us bring that message home to parents, grandparents or carers who might be considering whether or not learning first aid would be beneficial.”
Anyone with a first aid story to tell should contact Annette Massam at [email protected] or call 07810 865332.
