23.01.2022 With Christmas just around the corner, it means so will be the need for batteries to run kids' toys. Please be alert to the dangers especially of button batteries

22.01.2022 What great feedback! Thanks so much Georgia. We're thrilled that you got so much out of the day and we hope that you never have to use what you learned, but if you do, we're sure you'll get the job done.

20.01.2022 Very proud to have been the a First Aid training provider for NorthConnex during this project. Vital First Aid conducted many first aid and Occupational First Aid courses over a 3-4 year period.

We are maintaining 4sqm per person and all the other physical distancing requirements. We aren’t saying social distancing because we want to remain socially connected with our clients, just keeping our personal distance of 1.5m Don’t forget to download our Defib training app, wash your hands often and don’t come to the course if you are unwell or have been advised to Self Isolate

19.01.2022 Is physical distancing still important? Yes. COVID-19 is still circulating in our community. Help reduce the risk of infection by staying 1.5 metres apart.... Find out more https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/social-distancing

18.01.2022 Lets all work together and do everything we can to prevent the spread of COVID

18.01.2022 It’s VITAL to Learn First Aid.

18.01.2022 Let’s keep these numbers low by working together and do everything possible regardless of our personal opinion on how effective things like masks may be.

16.01.2022 Two new alternatives to the EPIPEN being reviewed. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is currently reviewing two applications for registration of alternate adrenaline injectors in the Australian market. It is important that people at risk of anaphylaxis and their treating doctor can discuss options of adrenaline injector devices and choose a device that best suits their needs. While researching both of these new options neither indicated any pricing. The cost of repl...acement Epipens has always been an issue so it will be interesting what the cost will be for these new options if they get approved. The new options being reviewed are the SYMJEPI and a new version of the ANAPEN. The Symjepi looks like a relatively small device which is ideal given the need to carry it with you all the time. However it does appear to require manual covering of the exposed needle. The current Epipen does this automatically. In my opinion, this action of making the exposed needle safe is extremely important in an emergency situation. It will be interesting what the TGA decide and when this device might be available. The new Anapen hopefully is an improvement on the original version. Looking the manufacturers website the Anapen still requires manual retraction, or covering of the exposed needle. As with the Symjepi device, I personally see this as an issue during emergencies. Inexperienced first aiders will naturally be a little anxious when giving any medication to a person suffering severe anaphylaxis and as such, having an exposed needle can lead to ‘needle stick’ injuries. How to use an Anapen adrenaline injector | First Aid for Free Although having a monopoly in any industry isnt always a good thing for the end user, I feel that the Epipen is still the best option for ‘pre-hospital care’ of severe anaphylaxis. It will be interesting to see what the TGA does and if both or either of these new devices are approved. Remember it is VITAL that you know how to use your own Epipen ( or equivalent ) or the devices that those around you might require to treat their anaphylaxis. Please be aware this article is not a replacement for official first aid or medical advice, but simply information and best practice on this kind of injury. You should always call a medical professional for advice if you are unsure or in a serious situation.

13.01.2022 Knowing first aid just might make someone’s 2020 a little better if you have the skills to help them in an emergency. Learn first aid - It’s VITAL.

13.01.2022 Gaining this status is just the beginning. We are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of everyone while at our courses. Please provide feedback if you think we can improve on anything.

12.01.2022 Please don’t drive tired

10.01.2022 Looking at replacing our ID cards that show your first aid certification with an app that can be quickly opened to show multiple certificates. Would you prefer a card ($6) or the app ($15) ? Yes or No

08.01.2022 Remember from Monday 3rd August we are STRONGLY RECOMMENDING masks to be worn during all courses with Vital First Aid. Let’s all keep safe while learning First Aid - It’s VITAL Students need to supply their own masks.

08.01.2022 Feet on the dash = horrendous facial injuries, pelvic and leg fractures or death.

08.01.2022 Emergency Plus app help emergency services find you. In an emergency people panic and can forget where they are ( yes it happens ) or may be in an unfamiliar area. This app helps by providing location details and well as easy access contact methods for 000 and other essential services.

07.01.2022 In a crash, the faster your collision speed the higher the risk of you or someone else losing their life. Remember to stay under the speed limit and drive to the conditions. Find out more: www.roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/speeding

06.01.2022 As temperatures rise, unfortunately so does the rate of child swimming pool drownings. Poor poolside safety combined with a lack of basic CPR knowledge has the potential to turn a beautiful summer’s day into an absolute tragedy. The saddest part of this is that most drownings are preventable. Learn full first aid procedures, and much more in our HLTAID003 Provide First Aid course.

04.01.2022 Happiest of Fathers Days to all the dads out there but especially to those in the emergency services who are keeping us all safe today instead of spending it with the dads and/or kids.

04.01.2022 Busy end of the year - today at Stellar Maris in Manly working with the staff doing a CPR course

03.01.2022 Please watch this great video on Funnel Web Spiders and how to capture them safely. Remember Vital First Aid at Gosford is a drop off area for these spiders. Remember also Learning first aid is VITAL

02.01.2022 In what can only be described as the lowest of acts the bronze plaque honouring the life and the sacrifice of our much loved colleague Mick Wilson has been stol...en. NSW Ambulance Commissioner Dr Dominic Morgan described the theft as the lowest of acts, saying: Mick Wilson was a legend who paid the ultimate price while serving our community. This is an appalling act of complete disrespect to his memory, his family and his colleagues who continue to mourn his loss every day, Dr Morgan said. An experienced paramedic, Mr Wilson was killed during a helicopter winch rescue of an injured canyoner at Bridal Veil. Our thoughts are with Mr Wilson’s wife Kellie and his extended family. Immediate plans are underway to have the memorial replaced.

02.01.2022 Thanks so much for the kind words Judi. We're so glad that you had a good time and got a lot of value out of the day.
