First aid training with AMN Training Sussex

About AMN Medical Training

AMN Medical Training was founded in 2007 by Alison Neave who retired early in order to set up her own First Aid Training business.

Alison started her medical career in the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Navy Nursing Service as a pupil nurse. On leaving the Navy she went to work for the N.H.S. and expanded her medical knowledge, working in various Hospitals, including Queen Victoria Burns Unit and as a District Nurse. Alison then went to work for a major Airline in their Medical Centres and finally as an Executive Aviation Medical Trainer. It was here that she discovered her ability to pass on her wealth of experience and knowledge. She enhanced these skills by gaining a Certificate in Education and a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in Educational Management.

In August 2006 Alison was also instrumental in developing a successful First Responder scheme in her local Village. This voluntary organisation is supported by South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) and involved Alison regularly training 24 enthusiastic Villagers as First Responders. She also attends regular Committee Meetings and acts as the main link between the Village and SECAmb.

Alison was made the SECAmb ‘Responder Team Leader of the Year 2007’ and ‘Responder of the Year 2008’. The Team she leads is used as a model for other Community Responder Groups in Surrey, Sussex & Kent.

Initially working locally Alison soon discovered a niche in the market to develop a more personal and fun way of teaching first aid to schools, colleges, care homes, small businesses & holiday camps. Alison has the ability to design a course which suits the clients needs and can add subjects if necessary.
Just recently, due to her continued success, Alison gained Health & Safety Executive approval to run 4 day First Aid at work & the 2 day re-qualification courses.

As part of this development Alison has engaged her own assessors and additional trainers. The focus on her team selection is quality. AMN Medical Training only uses trainers who have medical and teaching backgrounds.
South East Coast Ambulance Service has engaged Alison to become an Associate Trainer for the organisation and she continues with her passion to promote the availability of defibrillators in the community (Public Access Defibrillators).

Alison is accredited by West Sussex County Council as an Adult Education Tutor and is registered with the Institute for Learners (IFL).

AMN Medical Training has recently moved to North Devon. However training will also continue in Surrey & Sussex due to the successful client base in this region.
