New course dates released!

New course dates released! I've been busy with the diary and have released a load of new course dates up to the end of June.

Vehicle first aid kits

Blog, First Aid

Vehicle first aid kits Yes really! I'm actually getting round to writing a new blog post. I'm fairly sure that at the beginning of the year I limited myself to just two new years resolutions; going for a run once every week and writing a regular blog post. Well I've failed at both of these so far! No more!! So here I am wondering what to write about for this blog post (I've already started writing another blog post about concussion after some friends of mine had a head-on car crash and started to show signs of having it).

I've a mass of emails to go through and several voicemails as well, so if you've been in touch over the last few days and left a message, I'll be getting back to you very soon. :) There might be a slight delay in responding to messages tomorrow though, as I'm attending a Medical Gasses CPD course up in Carlisle which a good friend of mine is running. I've not trained in giving Entonox before, only Oxygen, so a bit of learning and a bit of refresher training are on the cards. Having spoken to the trainer earlier this…

Food safety tip #1

Food Safety

Food safety tip #1 Here's a great food safety tip; ensure that you use cooked leftovers within 4 days, or freeze them immediately after cooking to help prevent foodborne illnesses. The best way to do this is to divide them into smaller portions, including jointing up meats, placing them into shallow containers and chill them to room temperature within 2 hours before refrigerating or freezing.
