Love at first aid
St John Ambulance trainer Kevin Inskip
unwittingly played Cupid when he paired two first aid students to
learn the kiss of life, heart massage and how to tie bandages.
Match maker
Now, Jim Jones and Carol James are planning
to tie the knot in August after getting together on the course in
Southampton back in January 2005.
Kevin said: ‘Learning first aid really can
change your life! Match making isn’t normally part of my job but
I’m delighted to have brought them together!
Learning first aid really can change your life!

First aid trainer
Jim and Carol, of Hedge End, near
Southampton, were total strangers when their respective employers
enrolled them on the St John Ambulance first aid course.
They hit it off straight away and Welshman
Jim, finally proposed earlier this year. He said: ‘I would like to
say a sincere thank you! I actually saw Kevin about a year after
Carol and I met and he did say he was very pleased for us both. He
joked about the prospects of marriage and at the time I just
smiled!’
Jim is planning to do another St John
Ambulance first aid course later this year.
