Over 12 hours (spread across two days), you will gain hands-on experience to manage various situations, such as:

• Incident management: Assessing the situation, conducting primary and secondary surveys, and determining when to seek further medical help.
• CPR and resuscitation: Performing CPR on infants and children, positioning casualties in the recovery position, and managing seizures effectively.
• Handling common injuries: Responding to choking, external bleeding, burns, cuts, bruises, splinters, bites, stings, grazes, and nosebleeds.
• Recognising medical conditions: Recognising and responding to asthma attacks, meningitis, diabetes, allergic reactions (including the use of adrenaline auto-injectors), and febrile convulsions.
• Managing other emergencies: Treating shock, fractures, head and spinal injuries, electric shocks, poisoning, and exposure to extreme temperatures.

How Is the Course Delivered?

The Paediatric First Aid course in Huddersfield is available in two formats: a traditional 2-day classroom course (approximately 6-7 hours per day), or a blended learning option. With the blended approach, learners complete the theoretical portion online at their own pace, followed by a full day of practical, classroom-based learning. Both options lead to the same accredited certificate, and both formats are fully aligned with Ofsted and EYFS standards.
