This course is in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and OFSTED. The course deals with accidents and emergencies involving children. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require you to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and trained people, so that children can be given immediate help if they are injured or taken ill. This should be identified through a workplace risk assessment. Have peace of mind and satisfy the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations by qualifying with the Paediatric First Aid course. This course illustrates the differences in treating children versus adults specifically with choking and CPR and appropriate communication required.
This course is ideal for schools, nurseries and childminders across the South East. Contact us for an approved First Aid course if you are not yet qualified.
What does the Paediatric First Aid Course teach?
As this course is aimed at those working with children, it is slightly different to the First Aid at Work course. We will teach you about everything from the basics (like the contents of first aid kits, action planning and allergies) to the more serious conditions (including meningitis, sickle cell and diabetic emergencies) and injuries (such as head injuries, fractures, strains and sprains). On top of this, we will make sure you have a good knowledge of how to deal with unconscious casualties and how to perform CPR on infants, children and adults. Other aspects of this course are treating asthma, seizures, choking, burns, bites and stings, poisoning and bleeding.
It is important that anyone working with children is able to take care of them should anything arise, so we believe that this course is vital. Contact us to find out more.
