Hi, I’m Emily Mottershead – a secondary school–trained teacher with over 25 years of experience in the first aid industry.
I left classroom teaching to follow my passion for helping as many people as possible learn life-saving skills such as CPR, Paediatric First Aid, Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), and Basic Life Support (BLS).

In my spare time, I volunteer as a First Responder with the London Ambulance Service and deliver first aid courses across UK. To reach a wider audience, I’ve also developed online training and launched this YouTube channel.

Here you’ll find:

📌 CPR training – adults, children & infants
📌 Paediatric First Aid tutorials
📌 Choking, burns, bleeding & recovery position guides
📌 Workplace First Aid (EFAW & PFA updates)
📌 Quick, practical tips to build your confidence in emergencies

I’m deeply passionate about giving people the skills to act quickly when it matters most. Because when seconds count, knowing what to do can save a life.

If you are male would you give CPR to a female who needed it?

This is Sarah, back in 2016, she was one of my students who I taught CPR to as part of the PHSE curriculum with the BHF free kit (before it was compulsory). A few days later Sarah saved her Dads life but doing CPR on him. It is stories like this, that makes First Aid so important to learn. Sarah and I both campaigned along with the BHF to help make First Aid compulsory in the English curriculum - which it now is.

I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you who are watching my videos and commenting. I am so passionate about teaching First Aid. I believe everyone has should know how to help in an emergency before more qualified help arrives. 

First Aid is literally what is says on a tin - the first person to give aid.

I publish weekly videos to spread knowledge to everyone FREE of charge. Please can you share my channel with others so everyone can learn how to help.

Thank you again for your support.
