Hi, I'm Lynsay. I run Mini First Aid in Fife and Forth Valley. From Tayport to Tyndrum, Kirkcaldy to Killin, I am excited to be bringing Mini First Aid to you! As mum to 2 teenage lads, we have had our fair share of bumps, falls and minor injuries over the years. I believe first aid is a vital life skill that everyone should have to call on if ever an emergency should happen. It may even save a life! I started my career as a radiographer working in the NHS for 20 years in hospitals across Fife, Lothian and Tayside. I then ran the Scottish Cot Death Trust charity for 9 years. Combining my love of meeting people, delivering practical training that makes a difference and equipping families with important skills is amazing.

Hi, I'm Claire and I'm the proud owner of Mini First Aid Ayrshire. I am a Mum to 4 young, crazy kids and have been a Maths teacher for the past 13 years. After a first aid scare in my own home, I feel so passionately about making first aid accessible for all parents and carers in my local area. As a parent, I completely understand all the worries we have about keeping our little ones safe and sound, so I hope that teaching these courses will reassure parents and make them feel confident when dealing with first aid emergencies.

Hi, I'm Richard. I’m an award-winning photographer, a keen outdoor enthusiast, and am married with a grown-up son. I’ve taught first aid and provided event medical cover for over 30 years. I’ve dealt with many issues and I want to help you develop the confidence and skills to handle any medical incidents that life throws at you. I look forward to meeting you at one of our classes!

Hi, I’m Lyndsey and I run Mini First Aid classes throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. As a qualified Midwife, first aid trainer, and mum to two teenage boys I’ve dealt with numerous first aid situations and emergencies. I feel passionate that everyone should know first aid as you never know when something will happen and it’s important that you have the confidence and knowledge to deal with the situation. It's a frightening experience when someone becomes ill or is injured, however our friendly and relaxed classes aim to give you the skills to be able to know what actions to take if faced with a medical emergency.
