Siân Percival-Edwards PGCHE; MSc; BSc (hons)
Head of Training & Education
Currently heading up the training and education provision for an independent Cardiovascular disease charity based in Preston, Heartbeat NWCC.
My role includes delivering first aid training sessions and PSHE focused workshops to school children, a very diverse role where no two days are the same.
More recently I have included First Aid for Mental Health into the array of First Aid courses I am providing because I believe mental health should be given the same level of attention as physical health. There are lots of myths and outdated stereotypes surrounding mental health, it’s a complex topic and unique to everyone. Just like physical first aiders, I teach people to be a first point of contact to help in the workplace and provide them with tools to try to encourage a healthy (body and mind) in the workplace.
