Tell us your First Aid stories
The charity, which teaches first aid to hundreds of thousands of people in the workplace and in the community, wants to hear how first aid – from dealing with an infant who is choking to stemming a severe bleed for a child – has made a difference to lives.
David Nicklen, training and community projects manager for St John Ambulance, said: “Every year across the region, we train hundreds of people in vital first aid skills.

“We know how important first aid is and believe that no-one should suffer from the lack of a trained first aider.
“Real-life examples of skills which have saved the lives of babies and young children will help us bring that message home to parents, grandparents or carers who might be considering whether or not learning first aid would be beneficial.”
