There's some festive first aid advice on offer from St John Ambulance to help Island residents avoid spoiling their Christmas and new year break.
The charity's issued a summary of how to treat mishaps in the home - from burns and shocks in the kitchen to injuring yourself playing with new gadgets and toys.
