Before qualifying as a first aid instructor, Gemma’s background was in primary school teaching, flying as long haul cabin crew, as well as working as a community first responder for the North West Ambulance Service.

As a new Mum, Gemma initially joined Mini First Aid in 2016, keen to share her first aid knowledge with the other families of her community, to ensure they would also know how to handle any urgent situations with their little ones. Gemma has also had a role within Mini First Aid head office since 2017, supporting our nationwide team of trainers in their initial training as well as their continued professional development.
