Emergency First Aid At Work + Paediatric Element

1-day Practical course at your premises or at our open courses.

The Emergency First Aid at Work + Paediatric Element course offers essential training for responding to both adult and child emergencies. It includes all the core content of a standard Emergency First Aid at Work course, plus additional paediatric first aid skills tailored for those in schools, nurseries, and childcare settings.

With a focus on hands-on, practical learning, this course builds confidence to act quickly and effectively in real-life emergencies—whether at work, in school, or in the community.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to deliver lifesaving first aid and implement a clear, effective emergency action plan—when every second counts.
