About me
I have been involved in first aid and its associated activities for over 20 years. In 2021, I completed a course with Nuco to become a training provider and set up my own business. First Aid saves lives and that's why it is a subject I am passionate about teaching.
The achievement of a Certificate in Education and my experience in teaching, has given me a good understanding of how people learn. I adapt my delivery to meet the needs of all individuals and ensure the course content is communicated in a way that everyone understands. All courses provide practical, hands-on training to ensure you are well-equipped to respond to an emergency.
Following teaching and prior to setting up as a First Aid provider, I worked as a FireFighter. When delivering First Aid courses I am able to reap the benefits of this role transferring my skills and hands on experience.
Alongside the delivery of First Aid courses, I also work as Technical Advisor for Adventurous activities. Working and ‘playing’ in the outdoors is a passion of mine and again I am able to reap the benefits of my experience in this field, to provide invaluable Outdoor specific First Aid training.

Immediate Management or Anaphylaxis
FAA Level 3 • 1 day
An Anaphylactic shock, or anaphylaxis, is a life-threatening, serious allergic reaction to an allergen such as food substances or insect stings. If it is not treated appropriately, it may cause death. This training is for qualified First Aiders and Emergency First Aiders to enable them to recognise and treat anaphylaxis safely and effectively.
When administering a medication, it is important to recognise and differentiate between allergic reactions and the potentially life-threatening anaphylactic reactions immediately. It is also essential to determine whether the individual has had an allergic or anaphylactic response to the medication in the past or prior to administration.
This course is suitable for all First Aiders and healthcare professionals, as well as those in a high risk environment where such medication is available.

Although it is not mandatory, the HSE strongly recommends that HSE qualified First Aiders and Emergency First Aiders undertake a first aid annual refresher course in order to keep their skills up-to-date and refreshed.
