Paediatric First Aid

This paediatric first aid course will teach you essential life-saving skills to use in an emergency situation.

During this first aid course, you will understand what to do if a child or baby is having a medical emergency. Learn how to administer CPR to a child or toddler. Feel confident using the recovery position and conducting a primary survey. Learn to recognise and implement the life-saving steps you should take until medical assistance arrives. You’ll also gain awareness of how to respond to non life-threatening medical problems.
