"As expert map readers will know, when you’re out and about navigating with a compass, there is a difference between magnetic north (where the compass points) and grid north (the vertical blue grid lines shown on OS maps). The difference between magnetic north and grid north is often referred to as ‘grid magnetic angle’ and it not only varies from place to place, but changes with time. This needs to be taken into account when navigating with a map and compass. In 2014, for the first time in Great Britain since the 1660s, magnetic north moved from being to the west of grid north to the east. The change started in the very south-west corner of Britain and will slowly progress across the whole country over the next 12 to 13 years. Ordnance Survey wrote a blog on the progress of alignment between magnetic and grid north in Britain back in 2019, which you can read here: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/newsroom/blog/magnetic-north-continues-its-march-to-the-east Now, there is a third line about to come into alignment – true north. This is the direction of lines of longitude that all converge at the north pole. The triple alignment makes landfall at Langton Matravers, just west of Swanage, in November and will arrive in Poole by Christmas."

As providers of Nuco training, from 01st November 2022 we will be adhering to the following guidance when delivering Basic Life Support lessons. "In 2020, during the initial COVID-19 pandemic, the Resuscitation Council introduced a moratorium on learners having to demonstrate rescue breaths during first aid training. The First Aid Awarding Organisation Forum have stated that from the 1st November 2022 this moratorium is being removed. All first aid courses starting from this date will require learners to demonstrate rescue breaths to achieve the regulated qualification. Learners will no longer be able to choose not to demonstrate rescue breaths if they want to be awarded the regulated qualification. If a learner is not willing or is not able to demonstrate rescue breaths, then unfortunately they cannot be awarded the regulated qualification but can be issued with a non-regulated certificate. The guidelines have also been updated regarding secondary assessment. Previously learners were able to verbally complete the assessment but from the 1st November will also have to physically demonstrate the completion of a secondary assessment at least once during the course. FAA have updated its COVID-19 Classroom Guidelines to reflect this change and you can view this here. Training providers should continue to maintain high levels of hygiene during classroom courses and guidance on how to achieve this is contained within the guidelines above."
