Mini First Aid

Rutherglen Exchange recently hosted a free Mini First Aid session, giving families the chance to learn simple, practical skills that can make a real difference in an emergency. First aid knowledge isn’t just for professionals it’s something every parent, carer and young person can benefit from. Knowing how to check responsiveness and breathing, how to stay calm, and how to act quickly can help keep children safe at home, outdoors, or anywhere the day takes them. Mini First Aid specialises in baby and child first aid, and today’s activity focused on the essentials: understanding the primary survey, recognising when a child needs urgent help, and building confidence to respond. These are skills for life, and we’re proud to offer opportunities that help our community feel prepared and supported. Thank you to everyone who came along and took part.
