What is Paediatric First Aid training?

Paediatric first aid training aims to develop delegates’ knowledge and practical skill to provide first aid treatment to infants and children. The course requires learners to assess and manage critical situations. This approach ensures that delegates feel confident and competent to apply their newfound knowledge in real-life emergencies.

In addition, the course meets the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. Therefore, it is a popular course with those who work with or mind children, such as early years workers or registered childminders. It can also be a valuable course for others who do not have a professional involvement with infants and children, such as parents and grandparents.

What does a Paediatric First Aid course cover?

The level 3 course has two mandatory units that learners must complete. The first unit is titled emergency paediatric first aid. It covers the roles and duties of an aider and how to administer first aid to unresponsive, choking, or bleeding babies and children.

The second unit is titled managing paediatric illnesses, injuries, and emergencies. It covers the theory and practical skills required to provide effective treatment for a range of medical conditions.
