Guest speakers

Guest speaker at Bishopston

At Bishopston we don’t just get taught first aid by the same few people. We like to invite other people in to talk to us about other things. Some of the guest speakers come in to talk to us about their interesting jobs such as eye surgeon, opthalmist, pest control officer, acupuncturist and prison officer. Other guest speakers just speak about relevant or interesting topics such as drugs, dealing with road traffic accidents, working as a doctor in South Africa, setting up an ambulance service in Sri Lanka, addiction, Cypriot cooking and major incident planning.

As some key members of the division like animals, we have a had a number of guest speakers bring animal with them like a vet talking about animal first aid, the prison dogs, the guide dogs and the Newfoundland dogs.

We are always keen to welcome new volunteers from Bristol and surrounding areas. If you are interested, e-mail the Avon Recruitment Team saying you would like to join Bishopston St John Ambulance Division.

 

 

The [Newfoundland] dog was so big, and it was only a puppy!
