Torrevieja U3A                        Wendy Withrington © Eu fugiat irure aliqua, tempor eiusmod veniam, culpa laboris non commodo sed enim dolore nulla et aute 2010 Born & Educated in Bristol. Trained as an enrolled nurse in Southampton then as a district enrolled nurse, finally qualifying at Winchester as a R.G.N. Worked at Winchester hospital for 30 years practicing in most areas of nursing, concentrating on Orthopaedics and A/E and modifying and initiating a computer program for the Emergency Department. Became registered in first aid with The Red Cross and attended functions where first aid was required. Married and having one daughter and two grandchildren, Wendy, along with her husband decided to come to Spain following their retirement. Tragically Wendy's husband died here in Spain in 2003 following a very short illness. Wendy decided to join U3A Torrevieja to fill in time and to increase her knowledge, saw there was a need to help people understand what to do in a given emergency, so volunteered to commence a "BASIC HOME FIRST AID" group. Wendy's First Aid Group covers problems and emergencies within the home. The group meets once a month and covers topics such as:- Contents of First Aid Box, Rescue Breaths And Chest Compressions. Shock, Choking, Injuries and Bandages. The group will also cover illness at a later date. It is a fun time but with a serious side and all who have attended so far, have found the sessions to be very helpful.
