Valentine’s Day is all about the heart, but how much do you really know about keeping it safe? Many people confuse angina, heart attack and cardiac arrest, yet each requires a different response. In this guide, we explain the key differences, the warning signs to look for, and what to do in an emergency. Learn how the right first aid knowledge could help you protect someone you love, with accredited training available in Ayrshire and across the UK.

The Resuscitation Council UK has released the 2025 Resuscitation Guidelines, the first major update since 2021. Developed with the European Resuscitation Council and ILCOR, the new guidance introduces earlier education, updated CPR protocols, a dedicated first aid chapter, and stronger ethical and post-resuscitation care frameworks. Slanjava Learning Ltd will update all First Aid and CPR training to reflect these changes from January 2026.

Every year on the second Saturday in September, we mark World First Aid Day to highlight the importance of first aid skills. Emergencies can happen anywhere, and quick action can save lives. At Slanjava Learning Ltd, our motto is helping others to help others, and first aid is at the heart of that. From workplace compliance with HSE guidance to supporting vulnerable individuals, first aid empowers us all to step forward with confidence.
