We conducted a 1-day advanced life support training for 50 Medical practitioners in Lagos on the 29th of October 2024 and Two days First Aid training for 100 university undergraduates from 20 states of Nigeria.

Event Title: Successful one-day Intermediate Life Support Training (ILS) for Healthcare Practitioners and two days First Aid Training for University Undergraduates. Date:

29[th] of October 2024 (ILS training for Healthcare practitioners)

30[th] – 31[st] of October 2024 (First Aid Training for Undergraduate/Secondary School Students from across Nigeria)

1. Introduction

This report outlines the successful execution of a one-day Intermediate Life Support (ILS) training for healthcare practitioners and a two-day First Aid training for undergraduate students from various universities across Nigeria, held in Lagos State. The event aimed to enhance the life-saving skills of healthcare professionals and students in alignment with national health objectives and response to the growing need for first responders in emergencies.

2

2. Event Overview

The training sessions were conducted from the 29[th] of October to the 31[st] of November 2024, attracting 150 participants. This included 60 trained healthcare practitioners and 90 undergraduate students. The presence of notable dignitaries graced the program:

Commissioner for Youth and Social Development, Lagos State, Mobolaji Ogunlende

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Lagos State, Dr Olusegun Ogboye

We invited two student representatives through the university authorities to attend. Naijaid paid for their transportation from their various states to Lagos state and back. They were accommodated and fed for four days, arriving a day before the training and leaving the day after. Naijaid felt paying for these costs for the students to attend this vital training was essential.

Healthcare practitioners were invited from across the country. However, because of the high cost of transportation and accommodation, only those living in Lagos state were able to attend. We hope to get sponsorship for this next year.

3. Objectives of the Training

To equip healthcare practitioners with essential intermediate life support skills to enhance emergency patient care.

To train undergraduate students in basic first aid to develop their confidence and capability as first responders.

To promote health awareness and community resilience by spreading knowledge of emergency management

Two days First Aid Training for Undergraduate Student Representatives

Recognising the importance of equipping youth with emergency response skills, this initiative targeted university students from diverse backgrounds across Nigeria, helping them develop essential first-aid skills they can apply in daily life and emergencies. With the increasing incidence of accidents and health-related emergencies among teenagers, this initiative is vital for fostering a culture of preparedness and safety within schools and communities

The training equipped participants with lifesaving skills such as:

To train undergraduate students in basic first aid to develop their confidence and capability as first responders.

To promote health awareness and community resilience by spreading knowledge of emergency management

Understanding how to improve safety and the prevention of injuries.

Helping to save lives by providing comfort to the victim of injuries.

Offering the affected persons immediate support to relieve pain.

Preventing the worsening of a critical situation, for example, application of bystander CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Before the attendance of a healthcare professional

These skills can then be passed on to others in schools, homes, communities, and the general population.

Others won ten power banks and five wireless chargers for getting questions right. This was to engage and encourage participation.

7. Conclusion

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks which the Charity is exposed. A risk register has been established which identifies the major risks by area of activity, the nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks happening and the measure taken to manage them. The Trustees review the risk register regularly at their meetings and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage the risks that have been identified. In particular, insurance cover is in place and the finances of the Charity are kept under review.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above. Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees

Independent Examiner's Report

To the Trustees

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30th April, 2025 set out on pages five to ten.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. The charity's gross income does not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section l45(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
