Paediatric first aid training: What will you learn?
The course covers everything listed below. There will be practical demonstrations, role playing and several activities to keep things moving along.
You’ll use the whole range of paediatric first equipment, and will try out your newly learned techniques on my adult, child and baby mannequins.
I’m happy to tailor the content with additions. If you want me to focus on a specific area of paediatric first aid, that’s fine.
