What Will You Learn in the Course?

This Paediatric First Aid training in Southport provides both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for responding to emergencies involving children and infants. During the 12-hour (2-day) course, you'll gain the confidence to handle a wide variety of situations, including:

• Emergency Procedures: conducting scene and casualty surveys, performing primary and secondary assessments, and understanding when to call for professional help.
• Resuscitation Techniques: performing CPR on infants and children, placing a casualty in the recovery position, and managing seizures effectively.
• Common Injuries: treating choking, external bleeding, burns, scalds, cuts, grazes, bruises, stings, bites, splinters, and nosebleeds.

How Is the Course Delivered?

This Paediatric First Aid course is available in two flexible formats: a full 2-day classroom-based programme (lasting six to seven hours each day) or as a blended learning option. With the blended approach, you’ll first complete the online study at home and then attend a single day of practical training in the classroom. Both options comply with Ofsted and EYFS guidelines, and you will receive the same recognised certificate upon completion.
