Our Youtube channel has proven to be popular and we hope useful.

Since our videos have been uploaded they have been viewed 22, 034 times! We do suspect that Kevin is watching himself but even discounting that it's still quite a number. Our CPR on an adult clip is the most viewed with crash helmet removal and fitting a cervical collar next in the list.

The clips are appearing all over the place from Romanian scooter forums to a knowledge bank for Philipino nurses.

If you haven't already done so visit us at Youtube but be careful, it can take over your life.

The timings have changed slightly to allow for anyone who has to get away for the school run, the course is now 1pm to 2.30 pm.

Meaning to encourage team work a number of our staff attended an airsoft day recently. Instead we shout, shot at and upset each other. Actually that's almost like a normal day together except everyone was smiling and still talking to each other at the end of the airsoft day.

Incase you haven't encountered airsoft its a bit like paintball, in that you run around trying to shoot each other whilst performing some mission. The missions did seem to be very much a secondary consideration compared to the chance to settle any scores. No one had every moaned about going to Preston before but I'm sure I hear a " thats for Preston..." as I was shot. From behind.

The team.
