About the Course
Our Full Paediatric First Aid Course is an in-depth, two-day training programme designed for parents, childminders, teachers, childcare providers, and anyone working closely with infants and young children. Building on the essentials taught in the Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course, this comprehensive training goes further, equipping participants with the knowledge and confidence to manage a wide range of paediatric emergencies.
Through a blend of theory and hands-on practice, you will learn how to respond effectively to both everyday accidents and more serious medical situations. By the end of the course, you’ll be prepared to deliver safe and effective care for children in your care, whether at home, in school, or in professional childcare settings.
