Mental health is a critical aspect of our overall well-being, influencing our emotional, psychological, and social state. It shapes how we think, feel, and act, impacting our response to stress, relationships, and decision-making. Unfortunately, there is still a pervasive lack of awareness and consideration surrounding mental health issues.
We can all take positive steps to improve our own mental health and the mental health of others.
We are now advocating that mental health first aid is deemed just as important as it’s vital we take care of the whole employee and not just the physical problems at hand.
The HSE (Health & Safety Executive) has also stated that employers now need to consider making provision to cover mental health first aid training, alongside physical first aid at work training.
There are 3 levels of courses for you to consider for you and your team.
This practical 2-hour class gives parents and carers of children the skills and confidence to deal with the most common first aid emergencies in babies and children. This class is also fabulous for babysitters!

✅ CPR (babies & children)
✅ Choking
✅ Head bumps

Safe workplaces not only enhance productivity and service quality but also contribute to building a commendable reputation. By making safety a top priority, you demonstrate genuine concern for your staff's well-being, establishing yourself as a responsible employer.

These videos serve as both a refresher and a valuable learning tool. Covering more than 30 subjects, they provide essential knowledge. It's always preferable to be well-informed and prepared, even if the information isn't immediately necessary. After all, it's better to know what to do and not need it than to need it and not know it!
Some of the subjects...CPR, Choking, Bleeding, Stroke, Heart Attack, Dehydration, and many many more
New videos added every week.

FACT - First Aid Saves Lives
HSE cannot tell you what First Aid Training provisions you should make. You, as an employer, are best placed to understand the exact nature of your workplace and decide what you need to provide.
First aid provision must be ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’. This means that you must provide sufficient first aid equipment (first aid kit), facilities and personnel at all times.
In order to decide what type of educational service you need, make sure you undertake a first-aid needs assessment. This assessment should consider the circumstances of your workplace, workforce and the hazards and risks that may be present. The findings will help you decide what first-aid arrangements you need to put in place.
We can provide assistance with your first aid requirements, throughout Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire.
