Little Ariana was taught at a young age what to do in the event of a medical emergency.
And it was just as well that she was – because when her mum, Rosie, collapsed at home in the middle of the night, six-year-old Ariana kept calm and knew exactly how to respond.
“I got the phone immediately and called 999,” says Ariana. “I knew what to do because I know if you need an ambulance then you call 999. I've seen it on Operation Ouch and other TV programmes.”
Ariana’s mum, Rosie, had been unwell after contracting a number of viruses, and while waiting for some test results to come back taught her daughter, now seven, what to do should she or anyone else ever need an ambulance.
