As such we will continue to deliver our essential training courses, which saves lives in the workplace and eases the strain on the NHS. Ventillation during winter months We will partially open windows and doors in the colder months to provide acceptable ventilation. Where possible we will open higher-level windows to hopefully create fewer draughts. In training rooms relying on natural ventilation, we will air the space by opening windows and doors as fully as possible to provide additional fresh air when people leave the room for a break. We recommend that you wear extra layers and warmer clothing for your course in case the area is cold. Other safety measures remain We're continuing to follow all government guidelines and we're applying additional safety measures at each of our training centres. Following the Welsh government guidelines updated in August, class sizes have reverted back to normal capacity. However, our other additional safety measures remain in place, including maintaining rigorous manikin sanitising for CPR practise where required, hand sanitisers are available around the building, and regular handwashing is still encouraged. On attending a course at one of our centres, you will also be asked to wear a mask whilst moving around the premises. You can find the full list of measures below. Do you have any Covid symptoms? Anyone with symptoms of Covid-19 should not attend training and instead inform us by giving our team a call on 0345 678 5646 Government guidance is changing regularly, please check back here for any updates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will rescue breaths be taught on first aid courses? St John Ambulance Cymru are members of The First Aid Quality Partnership, who have released the below statement: In response to the increased prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and the increased transmission of the new variants, the First Aid Quality Partnership (FAQP) and HSE supports the position of Resuscitation Council UK that practical demonstration of rescue breaths may be omitted from first aid training courses, as a precautionary measure while CoVid transmission rates remain high. As of 17th February 2021, due to the high transmission rates of COVID-19, St John Ambulance Cymru has taken the decision to temporarily, cease physical demonstration and assessment of rescue breaths on our first aid courses. We will continue to teach the theory of rescue breaths, but without the physical demonstration. This is a temporary change and will be reviewed regularly. Due to the evidence surrounding the importance of rescue breaths for children, we will continue to demonstrate and assess rescue breaths on our assessed paediatric first aid courses. Training on your premises We are still able to offer training at your premises, as long as your Organisation is currently allowed to be open. Your premises must meet the current government guidelines. In addition all course attendees may be asked to wear a mask when moving around the classroom.
