I'm a "new" mum and need to find 4 others (to make up group of 8) to take part in first aid course, it comes highly recommended from my other mums friends, some are on this forum, others from NCT etc. You learn CPR with baby and toddler dummys to practice on, Choking, burns advice etc. I know I would feel a lot more confident if I had some training on what to so in these situations! If you are interested, please reply to this thread or PM me. Here are some more details...

Course: First Aid For Life (www.firstaidforlife.org.uk

Date: Wed 5th May

Time: 7.30-10.30

Location: The Rye Hotel, Peckham (in the marquee are at the back)

Cost: ?45 per person

...blimey - that packs alot into 3hrs (esp with such a big group). I teach for The Parent Company and we split basic life support/choking/recovery position and Accidents and Illness into 2 separate classes of 2hrs each and still find there's lots to pack into the time (especially giving all participants chance to practice the BLS/choking on baby and child size mannequins
Some mums I know looked at The Parent Company but although I'm sure they are very good they are more money and ?45 was what everyone seemed happy to pay. At least these mums got some advice and so are better prepared having done the course than not and (should heaven forbid) they ever find themselves needing to use the advice!

Am not criticising the want to do first aid training (as a nurse I am well aware how few do have training and how important it is). I was purely expressing concern that the curriculum for a 3hr class seemed alot and that I was unsure how much practice of the most important skills (the BLS and choking) would be offered to the parents attending.

Hi All,


I've had quite a lot of interest!! I'm going to give London Ambulance a call tomorrow and try and get a date set that suits the first 6 people that contacted me. I'll also enquire about maximum numbers and I'll let you know missse22 and candp. Hopefully we can squeeze you in too. I'll let you all know how I get on.

    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard!
