St Andrew’s First Aid joins SFHA as a Sector Associate

St Andrew’s First Aid, Scotland’s dedicated first aid charity and leading first aid training provider, is delighted to announce that it has become a Sector Associate of the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA). This collaboration marks an important step forward in both organisations efforts to enhance safety and well-being across Scotland. It’s your legal obligation to ensure that all first aid needs are met with the appropriate training. 

St Andrew’s First Aid offers a wide range of first aid, mental health and health and safety training courses with alternative learning styles, giving housing associations and employees the flexibility and freedom, they need to thrive in a new hybrid world of working. Blended and non-consecutive options make lifesaving training more accessible than ever.  

We are now also advocating that mental health first aid is deemed just as important as it’s vital we take care of the whole employee and not just the physical problems at hand. 

Courses include First Aid at Work initial and requalification, Emergency First Aid at Work, Leading First Aid in Mental Health, Fire Marshal, Evacuation Chair and Moving & Handling Principles. 

As well as delivering first aid courses at training venues across Scotland we can come to your own premises. Training centres are in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Hamilton, Falkirk, Livingston, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glenrothes, Perth and Inverness. 

As an associate member of the SFHA, St Andrew’s First Aid will offer housing associations access to our Account Management service helping you coordinate all your training bookings and first aid supplies purchases. Benefits include a named point of contact, customer reporting and bespoke pricing. 

“I look forward to introducing myself and speaking with all of the Housing Associations across Scotland explaining what we can offer you as an associate member of the SFHA” said Lee Carruthers, who looks after the Account Management Programme. 

St Andrew’s First Aid has a long-standing reputation for excellence in providing first aid training, recently celebrated 140 years, and are deemed as a standard setter by the Health and Safety Executive.
