I hadn’t realised they had widened the criteria to anyone with first aid qualifications, when they started it they just had off duty paramedics and similar using it. It’s a good idea, but it would definitely be confronting if it happened.
i hate doing life saving first aid, I get real shook up after
once gave a 4 year old at a kids party a strong whack on the back as he was choking on a big gummy snake, he had blocked his windpipe. He was white, making no noise, making coughing movements, flailing a little. I jumped over chairs and tables to get to him when I saw what was happening. Other mothers at the party looked at me like i was an idiot.
one time getting aid for a stabbing victim lying on the street, other times was just helping with car accident type things
What’s the app? I saw one years ago but it never took off. Good concept, poor adoption.
GoodSAM. I’ve not looked into it beyond being told about it today (Red Cross)
edit: looks like you sign up through the ambos and then use the app.

I’ve been in a few confronting first aid situations, I keep my head.
Looks like its a UK app, it’s all about the NHS and UK quals.

Mine were all overdoses. Mostly heroin or G i reckon.
oh no, that’s awful 😞
No deaths though, well they were all alive when I handed them off to paramedics.
