We were delighted to welcome Niall and Laura to the nursery this week. Their visit provided the children with an exciting opportunity to explore an ambulance and learn about the important work carried out by paramedics.<\/p>\n

Before heading outside to see the ambulance, Niall and Laura explained how paramedics help people who are ill or injured and may need to be taken to hospital. They also spoke about the important features of their uniform, including the Scottish Ambulance Service and NHS badges. The children were interested to discover that the uniform has several pockets, which are used to store essential items such as a penlight and gloves.\"\"<\/p>\n

The children were thrilled to see inside the ambulance and learn about some of the important equipment it carries. They saw oxygen tanks and a special monitor used to check a patient\u2019s heart rate and oxygen levels. We also had the opportunity to see the ambulance stretcher up close and some of the children volunteered to be strapped in to experience what it might be like for a patient being transported to hospital.<\/p>\n

During the visit, we learned about splints and bandages and how they are used to help people who have been injured. The children listened with great interest and asked several insightful questions, which helped to deepen their understanding.<\/p>\n
