What Will You Learn on the Course?

This paediatric first aid training provides both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice for responding to emergencies involving infants and children. Over the course of the full 12-hour (2-day) programme, you will gain the skills and confidence to manage a variety of situations, including:

• Emergency response: conducting scene assessments, primary and secondary surveys, and knowing when to call for medical help.
• Resuscitation skills: performing infant and child CPR, safely placing a casualty in the recovery position, and handling seizures.
• Common incidents: responding to choking, external bleeding, burns, scalds, bites, stings, cuts, grazes, bruises, splinters, and nosebleeds.
• Medical conditions: managing asthma attacks, meningitis, diabetes, allergic reactions (including safe use of adrenaline auto-injectors), and febrile convulsions.
• Other risks: addressing shock, fractures, injuries to the head, spine, and chest, and handling electric shock, poisoning, and extreme temperatures.

How Is the Course Delivered?

The Paediatric First Aid Course is offered in two flexible formats: a full 2-day classroom programme (lasting around six to seven hours each day) or a blended learning option. With the blended format, you'll complete online study at home, followed by one practical day in class. Both options fulfil Ofsted and EYFS requirements and result in the same recognised certification.
