Course description
This course is in partnership with Parents4Parents for members of their community. Do you work with children? Have you ever wondered how to keep your own children safe in an emergency? Join us for this comprehensive paediatric first aid course and learn how you can play a vital role in children's safety.
In this thorough 8-hour paediatric first aid course, participants learn about the vital role of a paediatric first aider, how to respond to emergencies involving babies and children and what maths you need to know to do this. The course starts with detailed CPR training, covering basic and advanced techniques designed for kids. Participants also learn how to use defibrillators in paediatric situations.
Moving on from CPR, the course covers various common paediatric emergencies. Participants are taught how to recognise and handle seizures and choking incidents in children, considering their unique needs.
Furthermore, the course includes comprehensive training on assessing and treating wounds, bites, and stings in kids. Participants gain practical skills in wound care, infection control, and safely managing bites and stings to avoid complications.
Through hands-on practice and discussions with experts, participants gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to effectively handle a wide range of paediatric medical emergencies. The aim is to empower participants to make a positive impact in children's lives when emergencies arise.
