EMB Training

I’m sharing this as it frightens me what misinformation is taught! please remember a GP is NOT a specialist trainer in Anaphylaxis Management.

The second Adrenaline Auto injector MUST be delivered into the opposite thigh! I have always taught this, and I’m quite shocked at the number of comments in the original post from people who have not been advised of this.

Auto Injectors WILL work if you have been taught to use them correctly.

Check your training provider is experienced!!!!!!🙏🏻 💉

Last week, with so much press and media attention around Natasha's Law, we were often reminded about the details that surfaced following Natasha's inquest in 2018. One such piece of information bothered me greatly, because it was so important and yet we'd had no idea about it at all.

Natasha's anaphylactic reaction to sesame seeds was so severe that it caused swelling of her airways. Her father injected her with two Epi-Pens in an attempt to reverse the allergic reaction. The first epi-pen was injected into her right outer thigh. But Natasha wasn't improving and she begged for the second Epi-Pen to be given which her father did, once again into her right outer thigh.

But it made no difference at all.

At Natasha's inquest, an Allergy Specialist was asked why in her opinion, the Epi-Pens had not worked. One of the reasons she gave, was that when the first Epi-Pen had been injected into Natasha's thigh, the adrenaline would have caused all the blood vessels in that area to constrict. Her allergic reaction was so severe that she required another dose of adrenaline to be administered quickly, but when injected into the same place as before, the adrenaline would not have been able to enter the blood vessels, it had nowhere to go. To counter this, she told the coroner that the second Epi-Pen injection should have been injected into her other leg - the opposite thigh. In all our GP and allergy clinic visits, in all our online research, we had never been given such information and yet it made perfect sense.

We are approaching medical professionals to get the latest guidance and will share when we hear from them.

If given the option for the 2 day paediatric first aid course, would you prefer 2 days face to face training, or one day face to face and one day blended style learning??

I can now offer FAA Level 3 Award in Safeguarding and Protecting Children, Young People or Vulnerable Adults (RQF), as a distance learning course.

Today (16th) is Restart A Heart. Volunteers from across a number of emergency services will be present in approx. 163 schools with the aim of teaching around 40 THOUSAND (!!!) children in the Yorkshire area CPR.

That’s 40,000 more lifesavers, potentially 40,000 more chances for survival.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Less than one in 10 people in the UK survive a cardiac arrest but thousands more lives could be saved if witnesses start CPR immediately.

Just finished another bespoke first aid course for a local gym. I'm always made to feel welcome at The Combat Academy and, as ever, it was an experience!! Many thanks to Nicky for her super organisational skills. Well done to everyone who took part, you all did great.

It's that time of year again... schools booking in their first aid courses and refreshers so they are qualified and confident enough to deal with the little lovelies that they teach. One course completed this week, and another one coming up next week. Busy busy!

Mapplewell area businesses, can you help?

This is fantastic news, especially as it has been campaigned for, for many years. I love my trips into schools, and the pupils are very receptive and capable. Finally, all secondary students will have access to this training.

Government confirms plans to teach CPR in schools The Education Secretary Damian Hinds has today confirmed plans to add life saving CPR to the school curriculum in England.

It’s been a little quiet here for some time as, recently, I changed job roles, moving on from Barnsley College. As CEP Training Services was specifically related to the college, I will be changing the name of the page to my freelance first aid training business, EMB Training. All courses available previously are still available. If you would like further information, please message the page.

All the best for 2019,

Do you know the difference?

A Heart attack and a Cardiac arrest are NOT the same! So this is probably my biggest pet hate. The media, TV programs and numerous resources interchange these terms frequently – incorrectly assuming they mean the same thing, they do NOT! …
