As the Training Manager at ICM I often get asked how do you make first aid training transferable, so that when people leave the training room, they not only remember vital information and skills, but they have the confidence to put what they learnt into practice in real life.
Today is restart a heart day – an annual day of action created by the Resuscitation Council UK with the aim to teach vital life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills to as many people as possible.
As a medical training and event support provider we specialise in teaching CPR and other first aid skills to everyone from first aiders, first responders, local businesses to children from 4-11 years through our Flat Stan workshops.

Fun is the goal, however safety should always be at the top of your priorities.
