If someone has a nosebleed, lean the person forward. Press on the soft part of the nose until the blood stops. Check if the blood has stopped after 10 minutes, again after 20 minutes and at 30 minutes. If the nose is still bleeding seek medical attention or take the person to the hospital.

Treating Cuts and Grazes
Blood is a vital component of our bodies. When someone is bleeding, you want to prevent as much blood from leaving their body as possible. Try and find a clean cloth or bandage. Then:
• Apply gentle pressure for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Clean the wound by gently running over it. Avoid using soap on an open wound.
• Cover the wound with a bandage.

Tip of the Day: Never turn a pregnant lady who is unconscious on to her right hand side (using the recovery position). This can impede blood flow back to the heart and make their condition worse. If in doubt remember “Ladies on their Left”.

Tip of the Day: If someone is having an Asthma attack help them take their inhaler. Sit them down and calm and reassure them. They may be very scared; Asthma is a life threatening condition. Call 999 if they cannot control their breathing 5 to 10 minutes after the attack starts.

Tip of the Day: There are two types of Diabetic Emergency: Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and Hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar). If you are unsure give the person something sugary to eat or drink. If they don’t recover within 15 get them to hospital or call an ambulance.

Tip of the Day: When doing CPR (chest compressions) it can be very tiring. If you have people who can help try and hand over every minute or so to allow you to rest and ensure the compressions are done effectively. Make sure there is no delay when handing over.

Treatment for burns.

Run cool water over the burn for a minimum of 20 minutes (avoid icy or very cold water). Don’t break any blisters. Cling film can be used to loosely cover the wound then held in place with a stretchy bandage applied loosely around the area. This will allow swelling to occur without becoming restricted and painful. Apply burn gel or burn dressings and seek medical help if the burn is extensive.
