Carrie Maxfield, a service manager at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH), used life-saving training to save a three-year-old boy who choked on his lunch during a family holiday. Ms Maxfield performed the Heimlich manoeuvre and back slaps until the sausage dislodged. The boy's mother thanked Ms Maxfield for her bravery, and she was surprised with a video message from the boy and his mother.
A woman who saved the life of a three-year-old boy who choked on his lunch during a family holiday has been awarded for her bravery.
As the boy began to "turn blue" and his mum "screamed" for help, the NHS worker said she instinctively got up to help. Ms Maxfield, a service manager in diabetic eye screening at Nottingham University Hospitals , said mandatory "life-saving skills" training once a year meant she knew what steps to take.
