Cotswold First Aid

03/10/2026

Wow… the last 2–3 weeks have been absolutely crazy! 😅

No days off for the boss, and I think I’ve somehow completely missed posting about a whole week! 😂

Not only have we had training and events every single day, but plenty of evenings too.

This week has been a typical example:

🚑 EFAW courses every day (including a open course at our own training room)
🏉 Rugby at Monkton Combe School
🚴 Cycling cover for Andy Smith Events

And today our teams have been out for around 12 hours covering rugby again, ploughing for Moreton Show, rowing Avon County Rowing Club and the Cotswold Fun Rides. A lot of miles, kit and teamwork involved!

Tomorrow is slightly quieter with just the ride Cotswold Farm Park, then it’s time for a quick clean, restock and reset ready to do it all again next week.

I fitted in a quick visit to see a new member of our family ‘Dyson’ and my mum.
And then for me, it’s back to the day job at Pharmaxo💉

Busy is definitely an understatement at the moment — but what a fantastic team keeping everything covered. 💚

This popped up this morning, so we thought we’d share it again! 😊

First aid is a serious subject, but learning it doesn’t have to be dull.

We believe that if training is kept interesting, practical and fun, people are far more likely to remember what they’ve learnt when they really need it. ❤️‍🩹

Learning to save a life can be fun too! Thanks Mark-making

This week we’ve had an open course at our training room, which included Outdoor First Aid training for The Rissington School, as well as delivering BLS training for primary care professionals in Devizes.

Tuesday also saw the start of the Music at Stow, with our team providing medical cover every evening, alongside games at Monkton Prep School and cycling Andy Smith Events.

And there’s no slowing down this weekend!
