The amount of times both Bec and Zoe have turned to Dr. Google when their kids were sick, only to panic further as they both didn’t exactly have the answers and most google responses were - “see a doctor as soon as possible, if your child has a fever over 38 degrees “.

Now with older children, both Bec and Zoe realise they wasted many hours in emergency for minor illnesses that could of been managed from home OR ignored symptoms when really a GP visit or hospital visit was required.

It’s hard to know where the line is, but one thing we have all learned from COVID is, the health care system is under pressure, ambulance wait times are extensive, and really we need to take some responsibility to educate ourselves with first aid, so we can navigate each circumstance that arises. That’s where Megan Harvey stepped in, as a Emergency Clinical Educator and being witness to the runnings of hospitals, as well as overwhelmed and overtired friends trying navigate sickness within their families, Megan could see there is a need for more information, more support, and first aid education, so she started her business Help at Hand Education.

Megan takes us through how and why she got to the point of starting her business, the juggle to make it happen and some of the basic first aid guidelines to keep in mind in differing circumstances, the statistics to remind us why it’s important to know this information, and where you can go to learn more.
