Unlike the movies, real life doesn't always have a happy ending.

Accidents can happen at any time, in any place. Tragically every year, up to 150,000 people die in situations where first aid could have given them a chance to live.

But it needn't be this way. Popcorn from St John Ambulance is an interactive film campaign to urge more people to learn first aid.

While not a substitute for training, St John Ambulance's pocket-sized guide covers five common conditions where first aid could be the difference between life and death in an emergency

St John Ambulance's pocket-sized guide covers five common conditions where first aid could be the difference between a life lost and a life saved:

Choking
Heart attack
Severe bleeding
Dealing with an unconscious person
Dealing with someone who isn’t breathing.
Request your guide and equip yourself to be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.

I do notice that a lot more people need to be taught about first aid, mainly because the world as it is at the moment, someone, somewhere is going to do something stupid.

If you can get 16 - 24 year olds into this then it'd be great for them, so many people I know, have so little knowledge of this but I know a few people who would be interested to learn.

I, however, am trained in basic first aid so I'm alright
