ASJ Beavers to the Rescue!

First Aid saves lives and our Beavers had a great time learning skills for their First Aid Stage One badge.  The Beavers rotated around three bases, dealing with major and minor cuts, unconscious patients and doing a 999 emergency role play.  

Meanwhile, the ASJ Cubs are working on their First Aid Stage Two badge and will be visiting the new LIFE Centre at Chorley Hospital in March.  The Our World Badge requires the Cubs to learn about community services around them and where better than the new state of the art  facility at Chorley Hospital?

LIFE is a facility that has been purpose built to inspire NHS careers and support health and well-being in people aged 5 years and upwards. The facility has been designed to include practical based teaching but also includes state of the art VR and AV technology. 

The Centre includes:
- A simulated ward;
- A simulated A&E Department;
- An interactive classroom; and 
- A Virtual Reality Cinema.
