3 Scenario: You are interested in finding out more about first aid and training on First Aid in schools. You read a magazine article about the Big First Aid Lesson: Read Text A and answer the questions that follow. Page 3 of 13
4 Text A 190,000 Children Learn Life-Saving Skills in Nation s Biggest First Aid Lesson Clare Sargent, St John Ambulance reporter On Friday 12 June 2015, over 190,000 schoolchildren in England watched a life-saving lesson delivered by TV presenter Claudia Winkleman as part of the St John Ambulance Big First Aid Lesson. Claudia Winkleman and Pupils The free one-hour webinar was streamed live into classrooms to teach young people first aid skills such as how to help someone having an asthma attack or an allergic reaction. We chose the summer-related conditions to help equip pupils ahead of the holidays. Last year's event reached 36,000 pupils. This year over 2,700 schools watched the lesson. Crucial life-saving skills. Claudia Winkleman said: 'It s brilliant that 190,000 children now have the confidence to help in an emergency. What they have taken away from the Big First Aid Lesson could save a classmate, friend, or family member's life. I m proud to be part of something which helps young people learn crucial life-saving skills.' First aid in action During the lesson, students heard from Kaitlyn Perkins (12), who used her first aid skills to help her brother when he severely cut his hand and Sean Irwin (8) who helped his mother after she knocked herself out cold. Students also asked our first aid trainers questions via Google Hangouts. First aid in schools and colleges St John Ambulance created the Big First Aid Lesson to help teachers overcome barriers such as lack of time, staff training and cost, which teachers cited in research as preventing them from introducing first aid in school timetables. Despite this, 96% of teachers want young people to learn first aid skills in schools. Our research also found that a majority of parents (86%) think first aid should be included in the national curriculum. Feedback on the Big First Aid Lesson Teacher Laura Price said: The Big First Aid Lesson is a fantastic initiative and our students have really enjoyed taking part. The skills taught today are so relevant for the kids ahead of the summer holidays and the training scenarios really brought things to life. I d definitely recommend other schools watch the lesson on YouTube if they missed it today, and we will be signing up for next year as soon as we can! Page 4 of 13

8 Text B - You are especially interested in knowing how to deal with an asthma attack as you know several people with asthma. You read the following document on the NHS Choices website. Your health, your choices Asthma attack: what you need to do Asthma attacks kill three people in the UK each day - one of the highest asthma death rates in Europe. Yet many of these deaths could be avoided. Controlling your asthma Read our information on asthma treatment. If you're on the right asthma treatment, your chance of having an asthma attack is greatly reduced. Visit your doctor at least once a year for a check-up and to discuss asthma treatment options. Is it an asthma attack? You can tell you're having an asthma attack if: your reliever inhaler isn't helping your symptoms are getting worse (cough, breathlessness, wheeze or tight chest) you're too breathless to speak, eat or sleep your breathing gets faster and it feels like you can't get your breath in properly. Often, using your reliever inhaler will relieve your symptoms. But sometimes symptoms are more severe and urgent action is needed. Page 8 of 13
9 If you go to A&E or are admitted to hospital, take details of all your medicines with you if possible. What to do if you're having an asthma attack Asthma UK s guidelines for children and adults having an asthma attack are to: 1. Take one to two puffs of your reliever inhaler (usually blue) immediately. 2. Sit down and take slow, steady breaths. 3. If you don t start to feel better, take two puffs of your inhaler (one puff at a time) every two minutes. You can take up to 10 puffs. 4. If you don't feel better after taking your inhaler, or if you re worried at any time, call If an ambulance doesn't arrive within 10 minutes and you re still feeling unwell, repeat step 3. If your symptoms improve and you don't need to call 999, you still need to see a GP or asthma nurse within 24 hours. After an asthma attack See your GP or asthma nurse within 48 hours. You can then discuss how to manage your condition safely. For example, the dose of your preventative treatment may need to be adjusted. Friends and relatives It's important that friends and family know how to help in an emergency. Asthma UK provides a free Asthma Attack Card, which helps you recognise an asthma attack and explains what to do. This includes helping the person having the attack to sit up comfortably, talking to them to calm them, helping them use their reliever treatment, and calling for help if their condition doesn't improve.
