Paediatric First Aid Course in Bangor

What Is the Paediatric First Aid Course?

The Paediatric First Aid Course in Bangor is a 12-hour accredited training programme for those responsible for the care and well-being of babies and young children. Learners can choose to complete the training fully in the classroom over two days or through a blended option that combines online study from home with a one-day, in-person practical session.

What Will You Learn on the Course?

The Paediatric First Aid Course in Bangor combines both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice to prepare you for real-life emergencies involving infants and young children. Over the 12-hour (2-day) training, you’ll build the skills and confidence to respond effectively in a variety of situations, such as:

• Resuscitation skills: performing infant and child CPR, managing seizures, and placing a casualty into the recovery position.
• Emergency procedures: assessing a scene safely, conducting primary and secondary surveys, and knowing when and how to call for emergency assistance.
• Common injuries and incidents: dealing with burns, scalds, choking, severe bleeding, bites, grazes, cuts, bruises, splinters, and nosebleeds.
• Medical emergencies: recognising and managing asthma attacks, meningitis, febrile convulsions, diabetic episodes, and allergic reactions — including the correct use of an adrenaline auto-injector.
• Additional hazards: treating shock, head and spinal injuries, fractures, chest trauma, as well as responding to electric shocks, poisoning, or extreme temperature exposure.

Both routes fully satisfy Ofsted and EYFS standards and result in the same nationally recognised certification.
