could you join links instead?

Due to changes in policy from the Yoputh Department earlier this year under 18s have to attend Youth units , so there is no point waiting until you are 16 anymore as you'll be joining a cadet unit anyway, you also won;t be allowed on duty or be able to treat patients unsupervised until you are 18 ( as YVP2 makes it a requirement that under 18s have all documentation counter signed by an Adult of equal or greater equivalent operational grade)

14-18 year old members will be doing the 'Service Delivery' Apprenticeship' programme, which if it is delivered as promised should give you the skills to make the transition to adult membership very smooth once you turn 18 ( just the medications + gasses module and the assessed patient handling stuff to do for Adult Adavanced First Aider if you complete the whole programme )

You won't regret joining I joined 3 weeks ago and have loved it.

I don't imagine the vaccinations being an issue - no one has mentioned it to me yet, although that might be because I'm not yet trained to go on duties.

Just a quick question for everyone, once you turn 18 what's the process for moving out of cadets and into adults? Will it require interviews etc or is it more simple?

First LINKS duty for freshers week soon and only got 2 members doing it so far - eek!

Which uni?

I showed up on the first week of term and got the application forms then. I only just handed them in last week along with the crb check but they allowed me to continue to attend meetings despite not having the forms complete

Edit: Damn that was meant to have a quote in it sorry!

Hi
I am 19 and want to volunteer as first aider. I dont know what to do to apply for volunteering. One of the branches of SJA was nearby my home but they will be closing down if they dont find any unit manager. So I dont know what to do

At the present time it depends if the District you are in is recruiting - not all Districts are doing general recruitment as the Regions are still dealing with the backlog of partly completed and processed applications from before regionalisation.

There are lots of SJA units ( some may argue too many ) and if recruitment is taking place in a District or locality then you would be placed at the most convenient / appropriate unit. .

Can anyone tell me what the policy on taking photos on duties is? Like could I take a group photo of me and my team before we start work?

assuming it;s for none commercial use and does not include any under 18s then fire away .

photos including youth members and/or patients are subject to more restrictions as might pictures used in publicity material etc

Does anyone know about transferring from St John Wales to St John England with PTA qualifications? Are they transferable?
