What Is the Paediatric First Aid Course?

What Will You Learn in the Course?

The Paediatric First Aid Course in Bradford offers a blend of theoretical understanding and hands-on experience to prepare you for handling emergencies involving babies and children. Throughout the 12-hour (2-day) programme, you will gain the skills and confidence to respond to various situations, including:

• Emergency response: carrying out scene assessments, performing primary and secondary surveys, and knowing when to seek professional assistance.
• Resuscitation skills: performing infant and child CPR, placing a casualty in the recovery position, and managing seizures effectively.
• Common incidents: responding to choking, burns, cuts, grazes, bruises, bites, stings, splinters, external bleeding, and nosebleeds.
• Medical conditions: treating asthma attacks, diabetes, meningitis, allergic reactions (including the safe administration of an adrenaline auto-injector), and febrile convulsions.
• Other risks: addressing shock, fractures, head, spinal, and chest injuries, as well as managing electric shock, poisoning, and exposure to extreme temperatures.

How Is the Course Delivered?

The Paediatric First Aid course in Bradford is available in two flexible formats: a full 2-day classroom programme, with each day lasting around six to seven hours, or a blended learning option. With the blended approach, you will complete the online theoretical part at your own pace, followed by one practical in-class session. Both delivery methods comply with Ofsted and EYFS standards, leading to the same accredited certificate upon successful completion.
