First Aid for the Elderly Casualty

This bespoke course covers all the basics of First Aid and focuses on common injuries and illnesses associated with senior citizens. Perfect for care workers, nursing home staff, those with older family members, and anyone else who has regular interaction with the elderly. This course will give them the confidence and skills they need to deal with a First Aid emergency.

This course combines theoretical and practical activities and is assessed through oral questioning, and practical demonstrations.

Depending on what you require, we can offer a three-hour course that gives you a Basic First Aid certificate, or a one-day course that includes an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.
