Ice tragedy turns to miracle for lucky Jim Braehead Curling Rink was the scene of an unique medical emergency recently and one which, but for an extraordinary turn of good fortune, could have turned out very differently. 73 year old, Jim McHale from Helensburgh was on the ice competing on behalf of his local curling club when he collapsed. His team mates at first thought that he had slipped and fallen but in fact, the reality was much worse. Jim had suffered a cardiac arrest and had stopped breathing. In such a situation, quick intervention is crucial and the ability of those who happen to be around at the time can literally be the difference between life and death; and by an incredible stroke of good luck, it just so happened that also curling at Braehead that night were not one nor two but three of the area’s most senior medics. First on the scene was retired Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Glasgow University, David Hamblen. Within seconds, Professor Hamblen had assessed the situation and been joined by former Professor of Rheumatology, Roger Sturrock. As both men performed CPR in a desperate effort to resuscitate Jim, they were joined by a third curling medic, retired Orthopaedic Surgeon, Mr. Douglas Sammon. Professor Hamblen explained,
“Although it took less than a minute or two, by the time we got there, Jim had stopped breathing. He was effectively gone. However, by there being the three of us, we were able to take it in turns to perform CPR at the same time as maintaining constant monitoring.” As the two Professors continued to work, Mr Sammon sent for the curling rink’s AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and after two attempts and several more minutes, the three medics managed to shock Jim back to life before stabilising him until the ambulance with Paramedics arrived. After a 12-day stay in Glasgow’s Royal Jubilee Hospital, including 10 days in Intensive Care and the insertion of two stents, Jim was able to return home and is now making a good recovery. “There’s no such thing as a good time for that sort of thing to happen,” says Jim, “but for me it really was a case of being in the right place at the right time. I have no recollection of what happened that night and in fact, little or no recollection of the next week to 10 days either, but I was told by the hospital staff that had it not been for the prompt attention I received from
Jim McHale (2nd from left) with (LtoR) Professors David Hamblen and Roger Sturrock and Mr Douglas Sammon
these three gentlemen, I wouldn’t be here today. It’s nothing short of a miracle really.” In addition to his former surgical duties, Professor Hamblen was for many years a Trustee and Depute Commandant in Chief of Scotland’s first aid charity, St Andrew’s First Aid. He says, “We have always emphasised the importance of everyone having basic first aid skills. The critical thing to remember is that anyone can be quickly and easily trained to do what we did that night. The other factor
which made all the difference of course, was the availability to hand of an AED – every business and venue where people congregate should have one of these.” Speaking from their home in Helensburgh, Jim’s wife Mary said, “We are both very grateful for the intervention by David, Roger and Douglas. It really brings home how important it is that we all try to have some knowledge of first aid and how vital it is that defibrillators are available in these circumstances.”

Working together to save lives:
St Andrew’s First Aid and First Aid Africa This summer St Andrew’s First Aid will continue our partnership with First Aid Africa by sending a selection of our experienced volunteers from across Scotland to Western Kenya to teach vital lifesaving first aid skills. The project will be based in the town of Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County in Western Kenya and the aim is to teach communities an adapted version of the first aid syllabus suited for sub-Saharan Africa. This includes treatment of injuries such as snake bites and utilising locally available resources. Last year a handful of St Andrew’s First Aid volunteers went out to Africa to teach local communities first aid skills. 20 year old, Glasgow University student, Niall McCumesty, was one of the volunteers who worked on the project last year in Kenya. He is going back this year and says, “In my recent expedition to Kenya in the summer of 2014 I witnessed first hand the immense difference empowerment in first aid skills made to communities across Western Kenya. Whilst there our small team trained over two thousand Kenyans basic lifesaving skills as well as a record breaking class of a thousand Scouts in a single day. This summer I hope to utilise the breadth of knowledge and experience within our St Andrew’s First Aid team to continue to create a new team of First Aid trainers within communities to give those in the most rural areas a fighting chance in an emergency. We hope to spread the skills and values the organisation has given us around the world. No one should needlessly die because they needed first aid and didn’t get it. Please support us!” Chief Executive of St Andrew’s First Aid, Stuart Callison says, “I’m delighted that St Andrew’s First Aid is able to support the vital work of First Aid Africa and to help cover some of the costs of our volunteers on this amazing trip. I hope that this is just the beginning of a long and successful partnership.” Sarah Pringle a volunteer with Bearsden and Milngavie Company is also going to Kenya this summer. This will be her first time in Africa and she is really looking forward to going out and helping
communities become safer and more resilient. Sarah says, “Hospitals and a health care system are luxuries many of us take for granted. The first aid treatment sub-Saharans receive may be the only treatment they have. This is why I believe the advances First Aid Africa is making are so important. They have sustainable partnerships with communities so the community members know how to take action when tragedy strikes and in turn preserve lives.”
Students in Kenya
Our volunteers need to raise £1500 each towards the cost of this potentially lifesaving expedition. The skills our volunteers will teach local people are vital in communities where a hospital could be several days trek away and where ambulances are few and far between. Imagine what it would be like to call an ambulance that never arrives or to trek for days to find a hospital without knowing if you could afford to pay for emergency treatment when you arrive. In many communities, this is a reality for people just like us. Often, these are communities most likely to need access to emergency care, due to road traffic accidents, agricultural injuries or burns. Principal Officer from First Aid Africa, Sam Abrahams says, “Scotland is home to some of the best first aiders in the world. We are delighted to be joined by colleagues from St Andrew’s First Aid in Kenya this year. Volunteers across Scotland believe that access to lifesaving education should be increased in Scotland and across the world. The partnership between First Aid Africa and St Andrew’s First Aid is another important step towards that goal.”
The volunteers from St Andrew’s First Aid going to Kenya this summer are: Niall McCumesty (University of Glasgow Company) Oyiza Momoh (Glasgow Queen Street Company) Sarah Pringle (Bearsden and Milngavie Company) Tamara Stead (Dennistoun Company)

BandAge15: tra generation of pot This February saw the launch of BandAge15; a youth project which will train over 400 Glasgow based young adults in first aid. The pilot project has been specifically designed for secondary pupils aged 1418 years old and will focus on equipping young adults with vital first aid skills and providing pathways into volunteering opportunities. The first stop for the project was St Roch’s Secondary school where pupils were introduced to Resus-Annie for the first time and also learnt how to deal with a wide variety of major and minor first aid incidents. The pupils threw themselves into the training wholeheartedly and once they had completed the course, were awarded a nationally recognised certificate. One of the participants, Kaitlyn O’Hare, who is a third year pupil at St
Roch’s said, “I found the first aid course really interesting. I enjoyed how hands on it was and that we weren’t just sitting around listening. I think it will be really useful in the future.” Head teacher from St Roch’s, Stephen Stone, was really pleased that his school was selected to take part in the project. He said, “We are absolutely delighted to be involved in this pilot with St Andrew’s First Aid. It fits in perfectly with everything we are doing in the Broad General Education and we are rolling it out to our entire S3 year group. The skills for life our pupils will learn from this programme will not only improve their own health and wellbeing; they will also enjoy the relaxed and practical approach taken by the instructors. The course will give them an understanding of the role of paramedics and will even be fully certificated. Not only will the young people gain in terms of wider achievement, they may well be able to
save a life some day!” The project then moved on to Springburn Academy where it stayed for 3 weeks and trained over 100 pupils. Again the pupils really enjoyed the training and had lots of questions for our trainer, Frances Stewart. Pastoral care teacher at Springburn Academy, Sheena Johnston, said, “Springburn Academy is delighted to be given the opportunity to be part of the BandAge 15 project. First aid is a life skill that the pupils will be able to take with them whichever path they choose to take in life.” The project is currently at Cleveden Academy and is continuing to teach vital life saving skills to a variety of pupils from different year groups. As well as teaching pupils first aid, the project also tackles subjects such as knife crime with the hope that if pupils understand the devastating consequences knife wounds can have, they will avoid being part of that culture. First Aid Trainer/Assessor, Frances Stewart, has been in charge of delivering the training at all the schools involved in the project. Her enthusiasm and hard work really has paid off as pupils have been fully engaged in the project and many are keen to become peer mentors in their school and cascade the skills they have learnt down to younger pupils.

is so important. This project will help to train the next generation of potential life savers and drive home the message that first aid is something that anyone can and should learn,” says Frances. In June BandAge15 will move on to its last school, John Paul Academy. Once training has been completed, pupils will be offered the chance to become peer mentors and Frances will also discuss volunteer
opportunities within St Andrew’s First Aid and other voluntary organisations across Scotland. We hope this pilot project will encourage more people of all ages to learn first aid and in the future we hope to deliver the project to all schools across Scotland so that we can create a whole generation of first aiders who will be there for someone when they need it most.

Pucker up for this year’s Kiss of Life The Kiss of Life returned this year in decadent fashion when we invited guests to afternoon tea at the Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow. This year’s event was kindly sponsored by Physio Control. The afternoon started in style with a glass of fizz and a meander round our fantastic boutique shopping market which included retailers such as Bobbi Brown, Avon and a St Andrew’s First Aid stall. The day was hosted by the new Marketing and Fundraising Executive, Laura Dennett. Laura welcomed guests and thanked our sponsors, Physio Control, for their continued support of the charity. Guests were then treated to a traditional afternoon tea and enjoyed some magical entertainment from our very own Professor of Magic, Ewan Callison. With some amazing prizes on offer including our star prize of a year’s worth of shoes from Schuh; raffle tickets were snapped up as everyone finished off the last of their cream cakes and scones. In association with
Before the entertainment began, 13 year old Ryan Montgomery, spoke to the audience about his passion for first aid and his ambitious campaign to raise money to buy an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) for his local community in Corstorphine, Edinburgh. Ryan
was nominated for a Scottish First Aid Award last year and although he didn’t win; he impressed the judging panel with his passion for first aid. For someone so young, Ryan spoke with poise and eloquence and managed to convey to the audience just how important it is for Scotland to have public access AEDs. Ryan also helped to draw the winners of our raffle and Resus-Annie competition. With formalities over, guests sat back and enjoyed Rat-Pack inspired singer, Jim McMail. Jim sang all the old favourites and soon had the audience up on the dance floor. Who knew you could do the Slosh to Frank Sinatra songs? With the last of the sparkling wine drunk and nothing but cake crumbs left on their plates, our guests headed home to enjoy the rest of their weekend. All in all the afternoon was a great success, raising over £3,500 which will allow us to continue to deliver the highest standards in first aid. Events like the Kiss of Life are a fantastic way to not only raise money for the charity but also to raise awareness of the important work St Andrew’s First Aid does across Scotland.

Out and about with St Andrew’s First Aid Dacia Duster 4WD Earlier this year we were delighted to take ownership of our very own Dacia Duster 4WD. The car was kindly loaned to us by Dacia UK and will be used at events all over Scotland. Dacia UK brand manager Andrew Heiron said: “St Andrew’s First Aid operates throughout Scotland and so has a fairly large patch to cover, sometimes involving challenging terrains. “The Dacia, with its high economy diesel engine and all-
wheel drive capability, is going to be an invaluable asset to the whole team as it travels the length and breadth of the country covering events, training and other official business. “We’re glad we can lend them the Dacia Duster to help with their potentially lifesaving work.” Head of Marketing, Fundraising and Communications at St Andrew’s First Aid Ray Diggins said: “We operate all over the country and occasionally across challenging terrains too so the Duster is the perfect vehicle for us. Thanks go to Dacia UK for so generously supporting our charity in this way.” So look out for Dacia when you are out on duty and make sure you take a picture of it and send it to our Facebook or Twitter page.
Information day
at Glenrothes shopping centre In March volunteers from Auchterderran and Kelty Company held an information and awareness day in the Kingdom Shopping Centre, Glenrothes. Felicity Brown and Heather Johnstone spent the day demonstrating CPR and showing members of the public how to use an AED. Felicity’s little boy, Blair, got involved in the action and showed some impressive AED skills!
a possible heart attack. They helped the gentleman to get comfortable and loosened his clothing and Heather phoned 999 whilst Felicity took over caring for the casualty. Once the ambulance arrived, the gentleman was then taken to hospital for tests and everyone at St Andrew’s First Aid wishes him a speedy recovery.
The event was well attended and Felicity and Heather were kept busy all day; they even had to deal with a real life emergency when a lady approached Heather to say her husband was feeling unwell. Although Heather is just new to Auchterderran and Kelty Company, she immediately recognised the signs of
Information and awareness days like these are a great way to boost the number of people with lifesaving skills in local communities and raise awareness of the important work St Andrew’s First Aid does across Scotland. So well done to everyone involved in the event.

Edinburgh bus station Edinburgh’s transport leaders were treated to a first aid master class by St Andrew’s First Aid Trainer/ Assessor, Annemarie Pattison, as they unveiled a brand new defibrillator for the city’s bus station in early April.
Transport Convener, Councillor Lesley Hinds, Vice Convenor, Councillor Adam McVey, Trainer/Assessor Annemarie Pattison and Operations Director Jim Dorman
Annemarie and Operations Director Jim Dorman were on hand to show Transport Convener, Councillor Lesley Hinds and Vice Convenor, Councillor Adam McVey, how to operate the new AED and how to perform CPR. Annemarie also offered members of the public free first aid demonstrations and advice. Councillor Hinds said: “Safety is of utmost importance to us as a Council, so it makes
absolute sense to install this lifesaving equipment in such a busy area of the city. Staff at Edinburgh Bus Station, which sees between five and seven million customers a year, will be given full training on how to use the AED. Edinburgh Council has also recently agreed to install defibrillators in all of the city’s high schools, partly paid for with fundraising by parents and the local community. Later the same day, Annemarie and Jim appeared on STV Edinburgh’s Fountainbridge Show to talk about the importance of public access AEDs and demonstrate how simple they are to use.
Dalziel High School Health Fayre This year Dalziel High School celebrated 21 years of their annual health fayre. St Andrew’s First Aid has supported and attended the event every year; running a stall at the fayre and giving first aid demonstrations. Pupils who come to the fayre are given the opportunity to volunteer in different situations ranging from acting as a casualty with injuries who require treatment to practicing CPR on models or dummies. Pupils are also given the chance to ask volunteers from St Andrew’s First Aid questions, with all manner of issues open for discussion. This year Commonwealth gold medallist Charlie Flynn attended the fayre and spoke to pupils about the importance of looking after your health and well being. The fayre was well attended and pupils enjoyed learning about first aid and taking part in demonstrations. The school has a positive approach to teaching pupils about healthy living and makes a conscious effort to teach its pupils the value of first aid. Dalziel High School enjoys a very good partnership with St Andrew’s First Aid, one which we hope will continue for many years to come.

Roadshows In March the Board of Trustees agreed the strategic goals for St Andrew’s First Aid for the next five years. We have an ambitious ‘road map’ to help steer St Andrew’s to a new destination: achieving financial stability in order to support a big expansion of community first aid activity. Now members of the Board and senior management team are ‘hitting the road’ to eight towns up and down Scotland to meet volunteers, explain the strategy, and answer some of the most pressing questions about the future of the organisation.
