About the Course
Our Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course is designed for parents, caregivers, childminders, teachers, and anyone responsible for the care of infants and young children. This hands-on training provides the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to respond confidently and effectively in emergencies that involve babies and children.
The course follows up-to-date international best practices and focuses on real-world scenarios that participants may encounter at home, school, or in childcare settings. By the end of the training, participants will not only understand the theory behind life-saving interventions but will also have practised the techniques to build confidence in applying them during a crisis.
