“Health First provided CPR and First Aid Training sessions in English for 20 people at our location and we were all super impressed. We also booked a Mental Health Webinar with them and everyone loved the format, content and delivery. Health First is great and I highly recommend them -- we are now in the process of reserving another Webinar!”

I completed First Aid Mental Health with HealthFirst Sàrl which I thoroughly enjoyed.

“Dr. Wright and her team deliver an excellent, interactive, fun learning experience of a very important aspect of public health promotion. Whether Mental Health course or other health promotion courses HealthFirst Sàrl are the best.”

Not just a 'bog standard' First Aid course, it was really fun!

“We had a basic first aid course delivered to all staff by Mags. She was extremely knowledgeable about all the latest procedures and taught us well. Best of all she was entertaining - this was not just a 'bog standard' First Aid course it was really fun.”

A great team!

“I have worked with the team at Healthfirst on projects surrounding mental health, as well as receiving training in first aid and CPR, when they tailored the training specifically to support Riviera Rugby club. It has always been a pleasure to work with them, very professional, and always flexible and adaptable. ”

Informative and practical

“An informative and practical session filled with tips and reminders essential to first response in an accident situation. As an active family of hikers, cyclists and skiers It was a necessary refresher of the first aid fundamentals, professionally delivered. Highly recommended.”

An informative Zoom lunchtime webinar

“Dr Michelle Wright, along with Dr Mecky McNeil and nutritionist Emma Jenks, spent a very informative hour talking via zoom to the staff in our Geneva office. The topic was Eat Well, Stress Less, which was very relevant due to the current work from home situation we still have in place. The team really appreciated the contents and the enthusiasm in delivery, and are asking when we'll have another session on other topics !”
