This comprehensive Paediatric First Aid Course is designed to equip you with the theoretical knowledge, skills and confidence to aid injured people in the event of an emergency situation until further assistance is available. This course will teach you the art of converting basic household items into tools if you don’t have access to a first aid kit, allowing you to deal with a variety of circumstances occurring at any place. In addition to that, you will also learn how to design an emergency plan, assess a situation, and provide basic Life Support for a range of other major and minor illnesses and injuries. Above all, you will acquire a sense of awareness to keep yourself and the people around you safe from fatalities and accidents that can result in permanent damage with no cure.

A recent statistic released by St John’s Ambulance has revealed that 140’000 people die each year in the UK from incidents where first aid could have possibly saved their lives. In addition to that, almost two-thirds of people (59%) within the UK wouldn’t feel confident enough even to try and save a life, and a further quarter of these people (24%) would do nothing and wait for an ambulance to arrive or even hope that a passerby would know the correct first aid required. Therefore, it is extremely important to have knowledge about first aid, which will boost your confidence level to gear up and take action during any life-threatening situation that could possibly save someone’s life.

However, having theoretical knowledge of paediatric first aid is not enough to be considered competent in this field. To complete this training, it is crucial for you to have the ability to showcase practical demonstrations in some areas.

Upon successful completion of this Paediatric First Aid Course, you will be able to handle any emergency or life-threatening situation with effective Paediatric First Aid assistance that can potentially save lives.
