Free First Aid Audio Advice

[sra]

Official MSE Insert:

Sussex ambulance has come up with a clever way of helping in case of a medical emergency. Click the link and it has a series of 7 downloads you can put on your Ipod/mp3 music player to listen to on your journey. Make sure you listen to them every so often and if you find yourself in a situation you'll be prepared. This obviously isn't a replacement for ringing 999 but it may help

Now back to the original post....

Tried following this link but the files would not play or download when I tried, may need to be tried again later to check that files are still available

wow

I never even knew this made it in the tip

I'm sure I still have all the files
and since they "...encourage users to distribute them..." I'll see what I can do about hosting them somewhere as soon as I get the chance/find somewhere.

Have you managed to find another source for these links?

I'm interested because I've got my first aid 2 day refresher next week and would like to do some swatting.

After asking the question in my previous post I went to have a look and found the following link to the same information. I have downloaded one of the files with no problems.
