Andrew Barras

Andrew qualified as a teacher in 1986 and taught in Bath and Gloucester before settling on ‘emergency care’ as his preferred career. Andrew qualified as a paramedic in 2001 and has worked frontline in London, the North East and the Home Counties. Since 2018 he has been working in the control room, providing clinical advice as 999 calls are made.

 
Andrew started delivering First Aid courses in 2008. Over the years he has been able to refine his work, drawing on his experience as a teacher and a paramedic, to provide a stimulating blend of instruction, demonstration, reflection, group exercises, powerpoint presentations, practical exercises, and scenarios.
