I saw an old couple fall over on Tuesday, the wife stepped off the pavement by accident and twisted her ankle. Yet it was her husband who came off worse, he was holding her hand and she managed to catapult him over her into the road. Luckily enough no cars were passing at the time and he got away with minor cuts and a very sore shoulder and neck.
I do know first aid, yet having to use it in unexpected circumstances can be daunting and you would be surprised how many professionals would walk on by when they are not covered by vicarious liability.

If the other people were already looking after her the last thing she needed was a crowd, as long as an ambulance (if required) had been called there was nothing else you could have done

C'mon you know who you are...;-)
Didn't realise she was in distress, just thought she hadn't felt well (suprisingly a common experience on the morning trains). Hope she is ok.

Most likely you could get your employer to pay but if not Red Cross and St Johns do them very cheap. One day or four day courses.
Which is why this country is going to the hell in a handcart : - )
