This guide will explain its usage and components. Contents of the Tourni-Key Plus Kit The Tourni-Key Plus kit comes in a sealed bag, which can be purchased individually or as part of a bleed kit. The kit contains three main components: Instruction card: Provides step-by-step instructions on using the tourniquet, including visual diagrams. Tourni-Key: Made from strong plastic, this device tightens a bandage around a limb to stop bleeding. Triangular bandage: A standard material bandage used to wrap around the limb. Using the Tourni-Key Plus Unwrap the triangular bandage and roll it into a broad fold bandage with a 90-degree corner at the bottom. Place the bandage around the limb just above the injury, avoiding any joints. Secure it with a half knot. Slide the provided card under the bandage to protect the skin from pinching. Secure the Tourni-Key on top of the bandage by tying it in place. Wind the Tourni-Key to apply pressure and stop the bleeding. Tighten it until the bleeding stops. Tuck the end of the Tourni-Key underneath the bandage to secure it. Note the time the tourniquet was applied, as this information is crucial for EMS personnel. Once the tourniquet is in place, focus on stabilising the patient and treating them for shock. Continuously monitor the limb to ensure the bleeding doesn't resume. If necessary, apply more pressure or add another tourniquet above the first one, avoiding joints.

The SLIDE pneumonic from citizenAID helps you deliver the necessary information quickly, especially if you're still in danger or hiding from a threat. Calling for Assistance First, dial 999 and follow the operator's instructions. Be prepared to answer their questions and keep the line open for them to gather the information they need. Understanding the SLIDE Pneumonic The SLIDE pneumonic consists of five components: 1. Situation (S) Describe the type of incident, the location of the attackers, their numbers, and their appearance. 2. Location (L) Specify the exact location of the incident, the direction of the attackers, and your hiding place. 3. Injured Numbers (I) Inform EMS of the number of injured people, including those who are walking, not walking, and children. Mention any visible casualties. 4. Danger (D) Detail the weapons being used, any ongoing gunfire, other weapons causing the incident, and any explosions you've heard. 5. Emergency Services (E) State if you have any help with you. The operator will inform you about all available services. Accessing the SLIDE Pneumonic The SLIDE pneumonic is available on the citizenAID app, which can be downloaded from the App Store. It is also featured in the citizenAID pocket guide, available for purchase from the ProTrainings store and on first-aid-online.co.uk. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10283/Using_S.L.I.D.E.jpg Yes 110 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/how-important-is-learning-first-aid https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5780.mp4 How important is learning First Aid by Sir Keith Porter Teaching First Aid to Children and Adults First aid education is essential for people of all ages, including young children. By teaching first aid in schools, children can learn basic life support, trauma care, and other vital skills. Benefits of First Aid Education for Children Teaching first aid to children at a young age helps them become more aware of potential dangers and equips them with the knowledge to handle emergencies. It also promotes engagement and active learning. Approaching First Aid Education for Children Introducing first aid to children in a non-scary and non-confrontational manner helps them understand the importance of these skills without causing unnecessary stress. Using age-appropriate examples, such as the story of "Moggies Coming," where a cat scratches a few people, demonstrates how first aid can be applied in everyday situations. Positive Experiences with First Aid Education Teaching first aid principles to primary school children in Barnett Green, West Midlands, has shown that children are receptive to learning these skills. They ask insightful questions and show great interest in understanding first aid when taught in a suitable manner. Conclusion Everyone should learn first aid, regardless of their age. Introducing first aid education in schools, especially primary schools, can create a generation that is well-prepared to handle emergencies and support their community's safety. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10319/How_important_is_learning_First_Aid.jpg Yes 139 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/tourni-key-plus https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5661.mp4 Tourni-key plus - demo citizenAID Tourni-Key: A Simple, Affordable Tourniquet Solution The citizenAID Tourni-Key is an easy-to-use, cost-effective alternative to commercial tourniquets.

The terrorist threat in the UK varies, but sometimes it is severe, meaning an attack is highly likely. Even with a small risk, preparedness is crucial. Guidelines for Responding to an Attack The National Police Chiefs Council has produced guidelines to follow if you find yourself in a firearm or weapon attack. The three key steps for staying safe during an attack are: Run, Hide, and Tell. 1. Run If there is a safe route, run. Insist others go with you, but do not let them slow you down. Leave your belongings behind. 2. Hide If you cannot run, hide. Find cover from gunfire, lock the door, and barricade yourself in. Move away from the door, be very quiet, and silence your phone. 3. Tell When safe, dial 999. Give your location and the direction the attacker is moving in, and provide as much information as possible. If possible, prevent others from entering the area. Considerations for Different Situations All situations are different, and people's ability to run, hide, and tell will vary due to factors such as age, fitness, or capacity. When running is not an option, individuals should make every effort to move away from the area as quickly as possible. The Run, Hide, Tell guidance emphasises the importance of assisting those around you who may need help during such scenarios. Workplace Responsibilities Companies have a duty of care to make provisions for evacuating disabled employees during an attack. Employers should have a plan in place to facilitate this process. Conclusion Being conscious of your surroundings and having a plan can help you stay safe during a rare firearms or weapon attack in the UK. Following the Run, Hide, Tell guidelines may save your life and the lives of others. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/9749/Run-Hide-Tell.jpg Yes 125 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/citizenaid---immediate-actions-following-a-suspect-or-exploded-bomb https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5820.mp4 citizenAID - Immediate actions following a suspect or exploded bomb citizenAID: Preparing for Bomb Incidents While rare, a bomb explosion in a crowded place can cause multiple casualties. It is an unpredictable situation, but taking time to prepare can save lives. citizenAID is a system developed by medical experts to give you the knowledge and skills to act in these difficult situations, drawing on military experience that has saved soldiers' lives with similar injuries. Discovering a Suspect Bag If you discover an unattended bag that makes you suspect a bomb, ask loudly, "Is this anyone's bag," before you clear the area. Report what you have seen to an official if you can, or call 999 and be prepared to answer likely questions the operator will ask. You must check any area you move to for further suspicious items and stop others from approaching the suspect bomb while you wait for help. Responding to a Bomb Explosion When a bomb explodes, there will be an initial panic. Follow the logical steps in citizenAID to provide an order to your immediate actions and save lives. Remember, control, then act. Control the scene, then assess, communicate, and triage. Your own safety is paramount. Be alert for any other suspect bombs. Use all bystanders effectively to control access if needed and to free the injured from danger. Tell the walking wounded to sit down in one safe place and wait for the emergency services. Keep assessing for dangers. Treating Casualties If there is more than one casualty, prioritize their severity and treat them in priority order. citizenAID will guide you on how to treat each casualty. Stopping severe bleeding is essential to prevent avoidable deaths, but you must act quickly. citizenAID gives you the skills and confidence to use a tourniquet to stop limb bleeding. If you do not have any equipment, you will be guided on how to improvise. citizenAID will also prompt you on how to hand over care to the emergency services using the MIST message.

One significant measure is Martyn's Law, named after Martyn Hett, who was killed in the Manchester Arena bombing in May 2017. The Origins of Martyn's Law Martyn Hett was a popular social media personality and Ariana Grande fan attending her concert at Manchester Arena when the bomb detonated. Following his death, Martyn's mother, Figen Murray, campaigned for better security at public events such as concert halls, sports stadiums, and other large gathering places. Her efforts resulted in the introduction of Martyn's Law to enhance safety and prevent future terrorist attacks. What is Martyn's Law? Martyn's Law mandates that all public venues implement measures to mitigate terrorist attack risks. This includes conducting risk assessments, developing and implementing appropriate security measures, and training staff to respond to potential incidents. The law applies to various venues, from concert halls and sports stadiums to museums, galleries, places of worship, community centres, and local markets. Protective Security Advisor A key requirement of Martyn's Law is for venues to appoint a named individual responsible for security. This person, known as a Protective Security Advisor, must possess the necessary skills and training to effectively carry out the role. They are responsible for conducting risk assessments, developing security plans, and ensuring staff training and preparedness for potential incidents. Security Measures and Response Procedures Venues must also develop and implement a range of security measures, including physical security measures like barriers and bollards, and electronic security measures such as CCTV and access control systems. Additionally, venues must have procedures in place for responding to potential incidents, including evacuation plans and emergency communication protocols. Impact and Implementation of Martyn's Law Martyn's Law represents a significant step towards improving safety and security in public spaces across the UK. By requiring venues to adopt a proactive approach to security, the law aims to prevent future terrorist attacks and allow the public to enjoy these spaces confidently. Though not yet in force, the UK government is committed to introducing the legislation as soon as possible. Once implemented, it will be a legal requirement for all public venues to comply with Martyn's Law provisions. Conclusion Martyn's Law exemplifies how tragedy can lead to positive change. Figen Murray transformed her grief into action, creating a lasting legacy for her son and making the world a safer place for everyone. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10576/1.jpg Yes 197 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/what3words---location-app https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4780.mp4 What3Words - location app Using What3Words to Pinpoint Your Location for Emergency Services When calling emergency medical services, accurately describing your location can be difficult, especially in remote or unfamiliar areas.

Manchester Arena Inquiry Report Findings The British government conducted a thorough investigation led by the Manchester Arena Inquiry, which released its findings on November 3, 2022. The report identified several key failures that contributed to the attack: Inadequate security at the arena Poor communication between agencies A network of individuals supporting the attacker's extremist ideology Recommendations: Improving First Aid Training One significant recommendation in the report is to improve first aid training for the public. The report found that many casualties could have been saved if bystanders had been trained in first aid and able to provide immediate assistance. Expanding Access to First Aid Training The report suggested that first aid training should be: Made more widely available Provided to all staff at public events Offered to interested members of the public Benefits of Enhanced First Aid Training Implementing these recommendations could result in more effective responses to future incidents, potentially saving more lives.

The Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Act 2015 provides a legal framework for such situations. Key Components of the Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Act 2015 The Act is divided into three main parts: Social Action: This covers situations where the alleged negligence or breach of duty occurred while the person acted for the benefit of society or its members. Responsibility: This applied when the person demonstrated a predominantly responsible approach towards protecting the safety or interests of others while carrying out the activity in which the alleged negligence or breach of duty occurred. Heroism: This concerns cases where the alleged negligence or breach of duty occurred when a person acted heroically by intervening in an emergency to assist an individual in danger. Good Samaritan Protection in English Law English law is reluctant to penalise people attempting to help others in emergencies. The law makes provisions for the actions of good samaritans, providing protection unless their actions were grossly negligent or worsened the situation. Conclusion The Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Act 2015 protects members of the public who offer help during incidents, ensuring that those who act responsibly and heroically are not penalised for their actions. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10331/CitizenAid_-_Helping_Others_and_the_Law.jpg Yes 76 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/citizenaid----reconstruction https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5829.mp4 citizenAID - Reconstruction Watch this video scenarios produced by citizenAID https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10384/citizenAID___Reconstruction-01.jpg Yes 84 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/uk-gun-crime-statistics https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6206.mp4 UK Gun Crime Statistics The Rise of Gun Crime in the UK Recent trends have shown a concerning upsurge in gun crime in the UK, prompting vital discussions about public safety and the efficacy of our gun control measures. A Decade of Increasing Firearm Offences Over the past decade, data has highlighted a consistent growth in incidents involving firearms in the UK. Notably, in 2019, firearm-related offences in England and Wales tallied up to 6,734, marking a 4% spike from the preceding year. Profile of Gun Crimes A staggering 88% of these crimes were executed with handguns, leaving a minor percentage for shotguns and rifles. A predominant 89% of the perpetrators were male. Youths aged between 15 and 24 emerged as the primary demographic affected by such crimes. Gun-related Deaths and Injuries: A Silver Lining? Despite the increase in firearm offences, fatalities and injuries owing to gun crimes have relatively plateaued. In 2019, firearm-induced deaths in England and Wales numbered 259, showing a dip from the 285 reported in the previous year. Yet, every casualty due to gun crime is a tragedy, underscoring the pressing need to confront the underlying factors of gun violence and craft safer environments for all. The UK's Gun Control Measures: Are They Enough? The UK prides itself on having some of the world's most stringent gun control regulations, which have notably curtailed gun-related casualties. Nevertheless, more proactive steps can be implemented to combat gun crime, such as: Strengthening community-based initiatives. Offering robust support to at-risk youths. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/11084/UK_Gun_Crime_Statistics-01.jpg Yes 104 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/video/using-the-ten-second-triage-tool https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6111.mp4 Using The Ten Second Triage Tool The Ten Second Triage Tool: Streamlining Incident Triage Introduction to The Ten Second Triage Tool The Ten Second Triage Tool is a powerful resource that provides recommendations for prioritising triage pathways based on incident specifics: Simplifying Triage Decisions With its straightforward question-based approach, the tool quickly determines the urgency of each incident: Clear Pathways: Each pathway is assigned based on simple yes or no answers, ensuring efficient prioritisation. Identifying Urgency: The tool categorises incidents into P1, P2, or P3, indicating levels of urgency, along with unfortunate cases of fatalities. Emphasising Key Instructions: Important medical instructions are highlighted in bold, ensuring vital measures are not overlooked. Pathway Determination Examples Let's explore some examples of how the Ten Second Triage Tool determines appropriate pathways: Walking Ability: If the patient can walk, the tool assigns a P3 level of urgency. Severe Bleeding: For cases of severe bleeding, measures like pressure application, tourniquet use, and packing are recommended, signifying a P1 priority. Verbal Communication: If the patient can communicate verbally, further questions are asked to determine the level of urgency. Breathing Capability: The ability to breathe is assessed, with appropriate actions taken based on the response, such as opening the airway or initiating CPR. The Methane Model for Incident Management The Ten Second Triage Tool also utilises the methane model to bring order and clarity to incident management: M: Major incident declaration E: Exact location of the incident T: Type of incident H: Hazardous conditions present A: Access routes to the incident N: Number of casualties involved E: Emergency services needed or present on site Enhanced Data Collection The tool allows for the recording of additional information, such as patient counts in each priority category and the number of non-breathing patients.

Our founders, including two military personnel and a former paratrooper, along with myself as a civilian with clinical experience treating injured soldiers from Afghanistan, identified a critical gap in the UK. There was no basic system in place to empower the general public to save lives during mass casualty events like bombings or stabbings. The Importance of citizenAID Should everyone invest time in studying citizenAID? The citizenAID program offers a simple and easy-to-use system. It is essential for individuals to familiarize themselves with the app and the pocket guide. This resource is readily available to everyone. Why is it important? Basic Life Support (BLS) has proven effectiveness in cardiac arrest situations, enhancing the chances of effective defibrillation when an AED is accessible. The same principle applies to trauma situations, such as bleeding or airway obstructions. These skills are not complex; they are simple and straightforward to learn. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals to take on public responsibility and allocate time to learn these life-saving skills. Accessing Training and Resources The citizenAID app provides comprehensive training, and it is free for users. It is encouraged for individuals to: Download the app and explore its features before encountering an emergency situation. Utilize improvised equipment if necessary, as citizenAID emphasizes the importance of resourcefulness in emergencies. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10321/The_development_of_CitizenAID_by_Sir_Keith_Porter-01.jpg Yes 126 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/plus/video/tourni-key-plus https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5661.mp4 Tourni-key plus - demo citizenAID Tourni-Key: A Simple, Affordable Tourniquet Solution The citizenAID Tourni-Key is an easy-to-use, cost-effective alternative to commercial tourniquets.

Card: Positioned between the skin and bandage to prevent pinching. Instructions: Step-by-step guide on how to apply the Tourni-Key. Triangular bandage: A material bandage used to occlude blood flow. Using the citizenAID Tourni-Key Unroll the triangular bandage, ensuring it's wide enough to cover the injury site without being too tight. Wrap the bandage around the injury and tie a knot. Place the card between the skin and the bandage to protect the skin from pinching. Lay the Tourni-Key on top of the knot and secure it with another knot. Wind the Tourni-Key to tighten and apply pressure. Once the desired tightness is achieved, hook the plastic back on itself to hold it in place. Secure the ends of the Tourni-Key by tying them around the bandage. Note the time the tourniquet was applied and ensure it is not removed until emergency services arrive. If bleeding continues, tighten the Tourni-Key by turning it an additional 180 degrees and securing it on the opposite side. citizenAID Tourni-Key: Easy-to-Follow Instructions for Everyone With its straightforward instructions, the citizenAID Tourni-Key is a user-friendly tourniquet option for those who may not have prior experience.

Follow these steps to make a silent call from your mobile or landline phone. Making a Silent Call from a Mobile Phone Dial 999 or 112 on your mobile phone. If you don't speak or answer questions, press 55 when prompted. Your call will be transferred to the police. Note that pressing 55 only works on mobiles and doesn't allow the police to track your location. By pressing 55, the police can get help to you, and they will be able to hear what is happening in the background. They may ask yes or no questions, which can be answered with a whisper or by pressing a key to making a beeping noise on your phone. If you don't press 55, your call will be ended to rule out accidental and hoax calls to the emergency services. Making a Silent Call from a Landline Phone If you're dialling from a landline phone and don't speak or answer questions, follow these steps: The operator will transfer your call to the police if they can only hear background noise. If you replace the handset, the landline may remain connected for 45 seconds in case you pick it up again. Calling 999 from a landline automatically provides the police with information about your location. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10390/Silent_Emergency_calls-01.jpg Yes 85 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/plus/video/course-summary- https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4803.mp4 Course Summary Completing Your Course and Taking the Test with ProTrainings Congratulations on completing your course!

This guide will explain its usage and components. Contents of the Tourni-Key Plus Kit The Tourni-Key Plus kit comes in a sealed bag, which can be purchased individually or as part of a bleed kit. The kit contains three main components: Instruction card: Provides step-by-step instructions on using the tourniquet, including visual diagrams. Tourni-Key: Made from strong plastic, this device tightens a bandage around a limb to stop bleeding. Triangular bandage: A standard material bandage used to wrap around the limb. Using the Tourni-Key Plus Unwrap the triangular bandage and roll it into a broad fold bandage with a 90-degree corner at the bottom. Place the bandage around the limb just above the injury, avoiding any joints. Secure it with a half knot. Slide the provided card under the bandage to protect the skin from pinching. Secure the Tourni-Key on top of the bandage by tying it in place. Wind the Tourni-Key to apply pressure and stop the bleeding. Tighten it until the bleeding stops. Tuck the end of the Tourni-Key underneath the bandage to secure it. Note the time the tourniquet was applied, as this information is crucial for EMS personnel.

By teaching first aid in schools, children can learn basic life support, trauma care, and other vital skills. Benefits of First Aid Education for Children Teaching first aid to children at a young age helps them become more aware of potential dangers and equips them with the knowledge to handle emergencies. It also promotes engagement and active learning. Approaching First Aid Education for Children Introducing first aid to children in a non-scary and non-confrontational manner helps them understand the importance of these skills without causing unnecessary stress. Using age-appropriate examples, such as the story of "Moggies Coming," where a cat scratches a few people, demonstrates how first aid can be applied in everyday situations. Positive Experiences with First Aid Education Teaching first aid principles to primary school children in Barnett Green, West Midlands, has shown that children are receptive to learning these skills. They ask insightful questions and show great interest in understanding first aid when taught in a suitable manner. Conclusion Everyone should learn first aid, regardless of their age.

A Decade of Increasing Firearm Offences Over the past decade, data has highlighted a consistent growth in incidents involving firearms in the UK. Notably, in 2019, firearm-related offences in England and Wales tallied up to 6,734, marking a 4% spike from the preceding year. Profile of Gun Crimes A staggering 88% of these crimes were executed with handguns, leaving a minor percentage for shotguns and rifles. A predominant 89% of the perpetrators were male. Youths aged between 15 and 24 emerged as the primary demographic affected by such crimes. Gun-related Deaths and Injuries: A Silver Lining? Despite the increase in firearm offences, fatalities and injuries owing to gun crimes have relatively plateaued. In 2019, firearm-induced deaths in England and Wales numbered 259, showing a dip from the 285 reported in the previous year. Yet, every casualty due to gun crime is a tragedy, underscoring the pressing need to confront the underlying factors of gun violence and craft safer environments for all. The UK's Gun Control Measures: Are They Enough? The UK prides itself on having some of the world's most stringent gun control regulations, which have notably curtailed gun-related casualties.

The terrorist threat in the UK varies, but sometimes it is severe, meaning an attack is highly likely. Even with a small risk, preparedness is crucial. Guidelines for Responding to an Attack The National Police Chiefs Council has produced guidelines to follow if you find yourself in a firearm or weapon attack. The three key steps for staying safe during an attack are: Run, Hide, and Tell. 1. Run If there is a safe route, run. Insist others go with you, but do not let them slow you down. Leave your belongings behind. 2. Hide If you cannot run, hide. Find cover from gunfire, lock the door, and barricade yourself in. Move away from the door, be very quiet, and silence your phone. 3. Tell When safe, dial 999. Give your location and the direction the attacker is moving in, and provide as much information as possible. If possible, prevent others from entering the area. Considerations for Different Situations All situations are different, and people's ability to run, hide, and tell will vary due to factors such as age, fitness, or capacity. When running is not an option, individuals should make every effort to move away from the area as quickly as possible. The Run, Hide, Tell guidance emphasises the importance of assisting those around you who may need help during such scenarios. Workplace Responsibilities Companies have a duty of care to make provisions for evacuating disabled employees during an attack. Employers should have a plan in place to facilitate this process. Conclusion Being conscious of your surroundings and having a plan can help you stay safe during a rare firearms or weapon attack in the UK. Following the Run, Hide, Tell guidelines may save your life and the lives of others. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/9749/Run-Hide-Tell.jpg Yes 125 https://www.instructorupgrade.co.uk/training/plus/video/the-ten-second-triage-tool https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6110.mp4 The Ten Second Triage Tool The Ten Second Triage Tool: Revolutionising Patient Triage in the NHS Introduction to The Ten Second Triage Tool The NHS is committed to enhancing patient care through innovation, and the latest breakthrough comes in the form of The Ten Second Triage Tool: Simplifying Triage with Unprecedented Speed With its revolutionary digital solution, The Ten Second Triage Tool significantly streamlines the triage process: Rapid Assessment: As the name suggests, it only takes 10 seconds to complete an initial assessment, offering unparalleled speed without compromising accuracy.
