I have a background in front line emergency services. I retired in 2024 to concentrate on the first aid business as the training manager. I’ve previously worked in the banking and transport sectors. I attended Sheffield Hallam University and completed a course in mentoring and facilitating, approved by the National midwifery Council, as well as a course in work based learning. I train first aid, also a mental health first aid instructor and I am also the manual handling instructor for the business. My aim is to now train as many people to become competent first aiders as possible, passing on my knowledge and experience to help all our students be more confident in helping others and saving lives.

I am a practicing HCPC-registered paramedic. I have 29 years emergency service experience. I began my career joining Patient Transport Services, working my way up to Paramedic. I have since completed my Paramedic Science foundation degree at the University of Teesside. In 2014,  I gained a Mentoring Facilitating Work Based Learning and Assessment through the University of Northampton.

In 2015 I started First aid training, since then I have also gained my Mental health first aider instructor qualification and as a Paramedic we are exposed to a lot of mental health patients so I feel I am in a great position to pass on my experiences to you.

I am a practicing emergency medical technician (EMT) I still provide front line services so can provide realism within my training, I have a background in training community first responders and several years ago moved into first aid training for various sectors. My training is fun and light hearted as my aim is to give you a very good experience with your training.

I am a practicing HCPC-registered paramedic. I have 22 years experience with the ambulance service.

I have recently completed my Mental health instructor training and having spent time working with the police in my HCPC-Paramedic capacity providing emergency care to people having mental health crisis. I feel this puts me in a great position to pass on my real life experiences.

I did over 20 years with the ambulance service before retiring as an emergency medical technician (EMT) in 2023. I decided to get into first aid training to pass on my knowledge and experience to anyone who attends my training courses.

Claire has been with the business from the very start, she does not do any training but is responsible for doing audit checks on all trainer paperwork, having completed her internal quality assurance (IQA) qualification and a current first aider she ensures paperwork is up to standard, does not contain any unnecessary information and that any exams undertaken have been marked correctly.
