The immediate care is given to a child/infant who has been injured, or who has become ill prior to the arrival of qualified medical assistance” The above definition clearly outlines what paediatric first aid involves. It almost makes things seem rather simple when in reality the average person may struggle to deal with the above situation. Sometimes the situation is made more difficult when the bystander involved has not received any sort of training. During an emergency this could result in someone not knowing what to do, freezing or making a serious mistake. Just a little basic training could potentially prevent all three from happening.
This course is ideal for anyone who lives or works with children, including parents, carers, after-school club workers, sports team coaches, helpers, and volunteers.
It is suitable for individuals seeking to learn new first-aid skills or refresh their existing knowledge. No prior qualifications are required, as the course provides comprehensive guidance and detailed explanations of all essential first-aid techniques and resources.
