Paediatric First Aid At Work
Our two day paediatric first aid training course is designed for individuals responsible for the care of babies and young children, such as nursery staff, childminders, teachers, and parents.
Using our extensive moulage kit, we can create realistic injuries to test the skills of your highly trained staff. This not only ensures your staff are more confident and competent, it also underpins your reporting, recording and investigation procedures.
This comprehensive programme covers essential first aid skills and knowledge required to respond effectively to a range of childhood emergencies.
