Paediatric First Aid

 

The Paediatric First Aid qualification is an Ofsted-approved course for adults responsible for the care of children aged 0–18. It equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to respond effectively to a wide range of emergency situations. Candidates will gain a recognised Paediatric First Aid qualification, enabling them to act confidently in supporting children’s health and safety.

 

Participants will explore:

• the roles and responsibilities of a paediatric first aider
• how to assess and respond to emergency situations
• managing an unresponsive infant or child, including CPR and the use of an AED
• recovery position and choking response
• recognising and responding to medical conditions such as asthma, anaphylaxis, meningitis, seizures and diabetic emergencies
• treating injuries including head and spinal injuries, fractures, burns and scalds, bleeding and shock
• managing minor injuries, bites and stings, and temperature-related conditions

 

Through hands-on practice and scenario-based learning, participants will develop the confidence to respond quickly and effectively to incidents involving infants and children.
