Primary 5 & 6 Health and Wellbeing Event with NHS

Kieran from the NHS Pharmacy department taught us about medicine and keeping safe around it. We learned what we should do if we find tablets that don’t belong to us.

Bruce from NHS Education showed us what’s inside our bodies. We had to label the organs and match pictures to descriptions of what they do. We learned where each organ is in the body. Putting the organs into the body was like doing a jigsaw puzzle.

The NHS Childsmile team taught us how much sugar is in different food. They also showed us how to brush our teeth. These activities were fun and we learned loads.

Kim is a nurse. She taught us Basic Life Support skills. This was really interesting. We had to make sure we pressed the manequin’s chest 30 times then we had to breathe into his mouth to resuscitate him. It was difficult but we all managed and were given certificates when we completed our training.
