First Steps First Aid Moves Into New Training Venue with Portsmed Ltd in Portsmouth
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—First Steps First Aid Ltd has officially moved into a brand-new training space in partnership with Portsmed Ltd, right here in Portsmouth!
After years of delivering expert-led, regulated first aid training to businesses and schools across the South Coast, this marks a major milestone in our growth. Our new training venue gives us the space and flexibility to deliver even more high-quality courses—designed for everyone from dental teams and early years providers to construction firms and corporate offices.
A Fresh Chapter (with a Familiar Face Returning!)
This move is especially meaningful for us as we welcome back one of our co-founders, Charlotte Boaden, from maternity leave. Charlotte shared her excitement online, saying:
“I almost didn't post this picture because... newborn sleep (IYKYK) but this was taken a few days ago, the day we got the keys to our new training room at PortsMed Ltd and I love how excited we look 😂”
“A huge thank you to my amazing business partners, Jack and Jess, who have kept everything running smoothly while achieving so much in my absence. Running a business and raising a family isn’t always easy—but having a strong, supportive team makes all the difference.”
We’re incredibly proud of the team spirit that makes First Steps First Aid what it is. And now, with a dedicated space to call our own, we’re ready to grow even stronger.
What You Can Expect at Our New Portsmouth Training Room
Our new venue with Portsmed Ltd is more than just a space—it’s a purpose-built environment designed to make training engaging, practical, and relevant. Here's what we’re planning:
A fully equipped presentation zone with large-screen display and comfortable seating
Hands-on CPR training area with manikins and defibrillators
Product displays for familiarisation with first aid kits and workplace equipment
