What Will You Learn in the Course?

This paediatric first aid course in Bootle offers both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training to prepare you for emergencies involving babies and children. Over the 12-hour (2-day) programme, you will build confidence in handling a range of critical situations, including:

• Common incidents: responding to choking, external bleeding, burns, scalds, bites, stings, cuts, grazes, bruises, splinters, and nosebleeds.
• Emergency response: conducting scene assessments, performing primary and secondary surveys, and knowing when to call for professional assistance.
• Medical conditions: handling asthma attacks, meningitis, diabetes, allergic reactions (including administering an adrenaline auto-injector), and febrile convulsions.

If you opt for the blended learning format, you will complete online study at home and then attend one day of practical, in-person training. Both options meet Ofsted and EYFS requirements, leading to the same accredited certificate.
