Baby and Children First Aid Course

This is not your average baby first aid course

This baby and child first aid training course is perfect for parents and parents-to-be, grandparents, foster parents and even siblings, as well as group leaders and those charged with the welfare of children.

The course is suitable for people 16 years and older because it designed to teach a wide range of first aid skills enabling the learner to cope confidently in emergency situations for babies and children from 0-puberty.

Because our baby and child first aid course is aimed at both families and professional carers we deliver the course to suit the learners, this means the length of the course and the content is just right.

The main focus within our two hour first aid course would cover the basics such as;

• Choking

• Bleeding

• Burns and Scalds

• High Temperatures

• Loss of consciousness

• CPR

• Dealing with an emergency

However, because the course is fun, friendly and flexible, we deal with issues and questions that arise at that time. Below is a full list of first aid topics that we are likely cover and you may wish to ask about such topics as meningitis and croup.

• managing a first aid incident

• accident prevention

• basic life support for babies and children

• management of an unconscious baby or child

• wounds and bleeds including nose bleeds

• choking and asphyxia

• Poisoning

• Slips and Trips

• allergies and stings

• anaphylaxis

• head injuries

• shock

• asthma

• seizures

• fractures

• meningitis

• Falls and related injuriees

We use medical manikins to practice skills in CPR and choking, understanding the mechanism od delivering good quality and efficient rescue breaths and effective chest compressions is without doubt the most important skill anyone can learn.
