Presentation

Mini First Aid are the UK's leading specialist Paediatric First Aid training company and want to make sure that first aid education is relevant to all communities. It is shocking that the health imagery available across the UK, so often uses white skin as the sole reference point. What if that does not apply to you or the person you are treating? We want to improve health outcomes for all communities so having an inclusive mindset is vital.” Angie Jay, A Safeguarding and School Nurse has joined Mini First Aid and their ‘Diverse Perspectives’ campaign. Angie is passionate about making sure first aid is inclusive. In this presentation you will learn how conditions may present on black and brown skin, as well as for white skin and outlines the importance of knowing all signs and symptoms in arange of first aid situations. Angie says: “It is vital that we do not assume that everyone in a first aid or emergency situation presents in the same way.If a child is choking for example, we are often taught to look for the child turning blue. This would not happen to a child with black or brown skin, so we need to look for other signs. I am delighted to be working with Mini First Aid who are leading the field in making first aid relevant for all communities and helping to save more lives.” You will learn great first aid education in thispresentation.
