Schools
First aid gives young people something amazing
– the confidence to do the right thing when it really counts.
You can help us teach a generation first aid – through using our
teaching resources, inviting a St John Ambulance trainer to teach
first aid at your school, or taking part in the Big First Aid
Lesson.
Big First Aid Lesson
The Big First Aid Lessons are a series of short
first aid programmes presented by St John Ambulance trainers. Each
lesson covers different first aid topics, in real life
scenarios with easy-to-follow first aid demonstrations. In the
space of just 20 minutes, students can learn first aid skills which
could stay with them for a lifetime.
You can download a new lesson every term to watch
with your class. You can also finish the school year with our
annual live event, The Big First Aid Lesson Live.

Get first aid in school on the PSHE curriculum
The government is considering making part, or all, of Personal,
Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education mandatory from 2019.
The Department for Education is taking consultation on what should
be included in this school curriculum until 12 February 2018.
We need your help - if you agree that first aid should be part
of the PSHE school curriculum, your voice needs to be heard
