Basingstoke pair's success
Two young first aiders from Basingstoke

competition in Hampshire.
Knowledge and skill
Reece Bethel and Ryan Robinson were named
winners of the Badger section for their
exceptional first aid knowledge and skill.
The first aid competition is held in
Hampshire each year and members are given a range of ‘casualties’
to care for and questions to answer.
Reece and Ryan worked really well together as a team

Now, the pair will
represent Hampshire in the regional finals on Saturday 16 May – and
if successful will go on to the national competition in the
summer.
Wendy McCormick, the Training Commissioner
for St John Ambulance Hampshire, said the youngsters truly deserved
their first place: ‘Reece and Ryan worked really well together as a
team and coped with the scenarios and questions we set.
‘They are a tribute to St John Ambulance and
proof that young children really can do first aid.’
Other Basingstoke winners were Olivia
Franklin and Amy Davies.
