The alarm clock sounds at 6am

The Hampshire youth team are about to take part in a NAFAC. In a NAFAC? Yes a National First Aid competition.
As Chris has mentioned in his blog about last Saturdays event, the Hampshire NAFAC team consisted off young people aged ‘’between’’ 15-19.
This was the first time in many years that the competition has seen a team this young.

Age is just a number….. That sure didn’t stop our team in any way; we got on and dealt with the scenarios and everything that was thrown at us. Our team leader Charlotte Stevens kept the team spirit together throughout the 8 scenarios.

Whats going to happen next?

All of the eight teams that entered in this years competition where kept in secret of what the scenarios were about. We were held in a room with the other teams in the morning so we couldn’t see or speak to anyone else other than the other teams.
Each team was then collected from the room and were taken to a cordoned off area which was a scenario that the team had to deal with.

I am very proud of my team and our achievements. On several scenarios we got high points for casualty care but what mean the most to our team is our high points on leadership which gives the Hampshire team the strength to return back to NAFAC next year.

So although it’s in a year’s time, keep a look out for blogs on our achievements next year.
