Joining us in Birmingham this September? 

​

Whether you joined St John Ambulance as a badger, or have never done a session of CPR in your life, there is a place for you in our society.

​

Welcome to our society, it's nice to meet you! We are a group of students who are involved with first aid. We welcome everyone within our group, whether they are an experienced Advanced First Aider starting their career in healthcare, or just a student who would like to know how to help their friends in case they have a little too much to drink. 

​

We provide informal training at our weekly sessions, alongside the opportunity to join St John Ambulance as part of the University of Birmingham Unit. As part of SJA, we provide First Aid at both local events such as Aston Villa and national events such as Birmingham Pride and London Marathon. These events are brilliant opportunity to engage with the community and get out and about, even during the pandemic. Over the past year, SJA have continued to provide first aid cover and support the NHS throughout 2020/2021, having been involved in the rollout of the vaccination program and assisting in hospitals alongside covering events.

 

Many of our members become part of SJA, however this is by no means a requirement to get involved with us, if you don't wish to. As a member of the First Aid Society, you can train alongside and access the same equipment and weekly meetings our Unit Members.

​

As it stands, we are currently unable to say how our meetings will be held. However, we typically run sessions between 19:30 and 21:00 on Monday evenings during term time, either online or in person. We currently have members from both the University of Birmingham and Birmingham City University.
