Local care home celebrates World First Aid Day
“We would like to thank all the medical professionals who are on call to administer first aid when needed and also to our Care Home Staff trained in First Aid to ensure the safety of our residents”
Residents and staff at Overslade House care home in Rugby, Warwickshire, in recognition of World First Aid Day, visited St Cross Hospital, Beech Tree Medical Centre and Central surgery to deliver cakes made by our wonderful hospitality team.
Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies around the world launched World First Aid Day in 2000. Since then, it has grown into a global event celebrated by Red Cross and Red Crescent societies worldwide.
The day was created to promote the humanitarian mission of first aid and to equip as many people as possible with the knowledge and confidence to act in emergencies.
Thank you to all the medical professionals who are on call to administer first aid when needed and also to our Care Home Staff trained in First Aid to ensure the safety of our residents.
