Christmas First Aid Tips!

Christmas can be an accident - filled time of the year; granny chokes on sprouts, electric shocks from tree lights because your daughter has been biting them, or burning your arm taking the turkey out the oven. 

Be prepared with our simple handy first aid guide!

If someone is choking, you need to give

• 5 slaps in the upper middle part of the back
• 5 abdominal thrusts

Standing behind the person (who should also be standing and leaning slightly forward) and encircle your arms around them, underneath their arms.  Hold your hands together at the top of their stomach underneath their breastbone, and give up to 5 sharp squeezes inwards and upwards.

This should cause the object to come out. If it doesn't, you should call 999.

If you burn your arm getting the turkey out of the oven immediately put your arm under cool  running water.  You should do this for at least 20 minutes.  You shouldn't use ice or freezing cold water as this may worsen any skin damage.

If dad gets an electric shock changing light bulbs on the tree, the most important thing to do is turn off the lights to remove the source of electricity straight away.  You shouldn't touch him - if he is unconscious, call 999 immediately.
