The thread for all St John Ambulance members to discuss current St John Ambulance issues and to share experiences of volunteering for or working for St John Ambulance.
I've been a member for 2 and a half years now. I am currently an AFA but with the training requirements for different first aid levels about to change next year, I could soon go down and be an FA.
Hi! I've been a member for nearly 7 years now (oh dear...) although I appear to be taking a temporary hiatus from it. Currently AFA with Med Gases, and not sure if I'm going to stick with the organisation. Watch this space....

Wow nice 7 years. St John Ambulance veteran then. Will you be getting the new uniform and what uniform do you currently wear?
I've literally got my first induction this Sunday after monthsssss of applying/interviewing/waiting! and then every wednesday evening from then on excited to find out what stuff my division does!

Wow you had to do an interview I just turned up in this little hall in the middle of no where and my soon to be new friend and division leader was eating a subway on the stage as we got to know each other.
Apparently now you cannot even attend meetings without having a CRB check.
Does anyone know if any universities do SJA, i really want to continue it
Yes there are quite a few LINKS divisions at Universities I have helped out at Surrey University LINKS division before so I know they have one. I also know Coventry has one because my cousin is a member.
If you follow the link in the OP then you might find more info
I don't really know my division doesn't have any cadets lol.
I'm still wearing my old uniform and I sent my waist etc size off ages ago.
If previous SJA standards are anything to go by we could be waiting another 10 years. In all seriousness though I expect we'll be getting the new uniform next year sometime.

Sounds great - I hate the current cadet uniform so much!!
