Paediatric emergency first aid

Our one day Paediatric Emergency First Aid course covers a range of medical issues related to children and infants. Professionals working with children must take the full two day Paediatric First Aid course, however this course is ideal for parents, grandparents, nannies or those within Early Years who are working as part of a team with other staff who hold a Full Paediatric First Aid Certificate.

If you live or have contact with children with particular medical conditions please let us know and we will endeavour to tailor the course to meet your needs.

The course covers the following topics:

Roles and responsibilities of the first aider

Anaphylaxis can be added to this course, at no extra charge, by extending the day by 30-40 minutes.
