Highfield building new premises

Highfield have been searching for a suitable building to ‘happily’ house our growing team for the past two years. Earlier this year we decided that enough was enough and decided that if we can't find a new home we will have to build one. If you would like to be kept up to speed with the build click here.

Highfield take the First Aid market by storm.

Highfield have been training first aid for some time; however, in February we tentatively launched our First Aid at Work book. I say tentatively because although we carried out a vast amount of research into the offers that were already available this was our first book launch in this industry. Fortunately it seems that we have got it right as the book is easy to read and the illustrative style has been exceptionally well received.

First Aid at Work launched Feb 2006

At some point in everyday life we all may be faced with a situation where emergency first aid is required. This may be at home, at work or in the street. The question that will be asked is:

Do you or your organisation know what to do if this situation arises?
Attending a First Aid course is the first step in gaining the necessary knowledge and skills. Keeping this book handy at work or at home will help to keep that knowledge refreshed and you prepared if that unfortunate situation should arise. This book is intended primarily as a source of reference on your First Aid courses and sets out the recommended procedures currently adopted for First Aid in the United Kingdom.
In true Highfield style the First Aid at Work book is packed with photography and illustrations to aid learning and engage users.

The book is fully up to date including all changes to resuscitation rules (Dec 2005).
