Paediatric First Aid (12 Hour)
Description:
This two-day paediatric first aid course focuses on emergency scenarios that
face those looking after young children and infants, including day nurseries,
private nursery schools, pre-schools, before and after school clubs for children
in the early years age group, childminders, parents and carers of children at
home. Designed around the needs of all child carers, our paediatric first aid
courses place emphasis on dealing with sick or injured children and babies. Our
12 hour course syllabus exceeds the Ofsted Early Years and Childcare Register
requirements. Our professional trainers utilise both practical and theory
sessions. Learners receive a Paediatric First Aid guide book, a training
dressing and a CPR barrier protection device.Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation and
care of the unconscious requires physical effort. Learners should be capable of
working with casualties at floor level. Learners are assessed continually by the
trainer.
The HSE strongly recommend that all First Aiders undertake annual refresher
training of at least 3 hours per year.
