Having seen the benefits of first aid training, in giving individuals the
knowledge and confidence to help in an emergency, I think it's important that as
many of us as possible gain these skills. My career as a nurse in both hospitals
and schools has given me both the knowledge and practical experience to deliver
first aid training in a way that is effective, practical and fun. Career I have
worked in busy hospital environments across many areas, including Accident and
Emergency, Intensive Care, High Dependency and on a variety of wards. It's
certainly been an interesting and challenging career, working alongside many
dedicated and skilled colleagues. I started teaching first aid in a school
setting, delivering courses to various staff members, from maintenance teams to
headteachers. It was through this that I realised how important it was to make
training practical and fun in order to engage trainees and build their
confidence. Having a degree in psychology is highly useful when it comes to
delivering our Mental Health First Aid courses. I am passionate about using my
skills and knowledge to make first aid accessible to everyone, so that as
individuals we can ‘make a difference’ when it matters most. Aileen Sherer -
First Aid Trainer Aileen Sherer Regardless of age, ‘Train For Life’ is the
mindset I want to instil in all my first aid students. I believe that having the
knowledge, practical skills & confidence to deal with any emergency first aid
situation, will result in successful outcomes in the workplace, at home or in
the community. My passion is to make training fun, enjoyable and build
confidence. Removing the fear of “what if I do something wrong” or “I don’t know
what to do”, by teaching adults and children essential knowledge & skills, is
extremely rewarding. Career I am a highly experienced Customer Services
Professional, specialising in First Aid training and staff development.
Throughout my long career, in both nursing and as a Senior Cabin Crew Member for
a major airline, I have been involved in training and coaching; helping my
colleagues to reach their full potential within the workplace. I have also
worked in many other environments delivering Nursing care & First Aid. I've
recently completed my own Level 3, Ofqual regulated Community First Responder
Course with the West Midlands Ambulance Service, and am now an active volunteer
within my local community, delivering first line treatment for 999 'life
threatening' calls, prior to the 'calvary' (paramedics) arriving. Its an amazing
feeling to be giving something back to the community, and helping my neighbours
where I live and in the surrounding villages.
