West Norfolk youngsters taught the basics of first aid

Pupils from Wormegay Primary School became Mini Medics on Thursday when they were taught first aid.

Norfolk Event Medical Services Ltd paid a visit to the school to show youngsters aged four and upwards how to do CPR and the recovery position.

Philip Neal, managing director of operations, said: “This will give them an understanding of first aid from an early age.”

Wormegay was the first school in the area to receive the training, called Mini Medics, which is aimed at school-age children.

Mr Neal said: “It’s quite vital, it should be part of the curriculum and should be subsidised by the Government.

The schools shouldn’t have to fund it themselves.”
