Guy Venner

I'm Guy and I've taught with MKPA for 11 years. My first aid journey started with a loud bang on a street in Japan: I looked up to see a young woman in a crash helmet flying through the air, thinking to myself, 'I don't know what to do when she hits the road.'

She'd been knocked off her moped and thankfully walked away with cuts and bruises — but in that moment I knew I had to be ready next time. I went on to become a scuba diving instructor in Thailand, which brought with it first aid instructor training. Given the rather relaxed approach to health and safety over there, I soon found myself very busy indeed. I discovered I loved caring for people, sometimes during the worst moments of their lives, and when I returned to the UK to look after mum and dad, training others in first aid felt like a natural fit.

Along with my colleagues at MKPA, my goal is simple: to make sure every student leaves a course ready to act — whether that's at a motorcycle crash on the other side of the world or an incident closer to home.

Student Feedback:
