Detailed and comprehensive, our Paediatric First Aid Course is ideal for those with a responsibility for the care of children or babies, and a need for the ability to respond to a range of emergency situations. Covering a greater range of topics in more depth than the Emergency Paediatric First Aid course, it is regulated by OFQUAL, delivered in accordance with the protocols of the Resuscitation Council, and satisfies the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

With a minimum duration of twelve hours in the classroom, this course is typically held over two days. We are able to provide flexibility with this, as long as the sessions are over two hours long, and the full course is delivered within a six-week period. Evening and weekend sessions are available.

This course is assessed through oral questioning, a written assessment, and practical demonstrations, and upon completion of the course, candidates will receive a certificate valid for three years. It is advised that candidates undertake an annual refresher course.

This course covers a range of topics in detail, including (but not limited) to:

• Role of a Paediatric First Aider and primary survey
• Unresponsive casualties
• Resuscitation and AED use
• Common childhood illnesses including seizures, diabetes, asthma, allergic reactions and anaphylaxis
• Minor and major injuries, such as foreign bodies, fractures, and head and spinal injuries
• Choking
• Wounds, bleeding and shock
• Burns and poisoning
