The RQF Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course is designed to provide comprehensive training in first aid specifically tailored to infants and children. It is a recognised qualification in the United Kingdom, suitable for individuals who work with or care for children in various settings.
The Level 3 training goes beyond basic first aid knowledge and equips participants with the skills and confidence to manage a wide range of first aid emergencies involving infants and children. The course typically covers the following topics:
Roles and responsibilities of a paediatric first aider: Participants learn about their responsibilities in providing first aid for infants and children, including legal and regulatory considerations.
Assessing and managing incidents and casualties: The course covers the systematic approach to assessing and managing first aid situations, including the primary survey, secondary assessment, and ongoing monitoring of the child's condition.
Resuscitation and dealing with choking: Participants learn techniques for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for infants and children, including the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). They also learn how to respond to a child who is choking.
Dealing with common medical conditions and injuries: The training covers a wide range of common medical conditions and injuries that may affect infants and children, such as asthma, allergies, burns, fractures, and seizures. Participants learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms, provide appropriate first aid, and seek additional medical help if necessary.
First aid for specific age groups: The course addresses the unique needs and considerations for different age groups, including newborn, infants, and older children. Participants learn how to adapt their approach to provide effective first aid based on the child's age and developmental stage.
Administration of medication and first aid record keeping: Participants gain an understanding of the legal and practical aspects of administering medication to children in first aid situations. They also learn about the importance of accurate record keeping and reporting.
The Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course typically involves a combination of theoretical learning, practical demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. It is delivered by qualified instructors who provide guidance and feedback throughout the training.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants are awarded a certification that is valid for a certain period of time, typically three years. This qualification demonstrates the individual's competence in providing first aid for infants and children and is particularly relevant for individuals working in childcare settings, schools, nurseries, or anyone responsible for the well-being of children.
Course Delivery
The delivery of the RQF Level 3 Paediatric First Aid course generally includes a combination of theoretical learning, practical demonstrations, and hands-on practice. Here are some common delivery methods for this course:
Classroom-Based Training: Many training providers offer classroom-based training where participants attend in-person sessions led by qualified instructors. These sessions typically involve interactive lectures, group discussions, and practical demonstrations. Participants have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in role-playing scenarios, and practice the necessary skills under the guidance of the instructor.
Blended Learning: Some providers offer a blended learning approach, combining online modules with in-person practical sessions. Participants complete self-paced online modules to gain the foundational knowledge and understanding of paediatric first aid. They then attend in-person sessions for hands-on practice, skill demonstrations, and assessments. This approach allows for flexibility and self-paced learning while ensuring practical skills are adequately addressed.
Practical Workshops: In some cases, the course may be delivered primarily through practical workshops. Participants engage in hands-on training and practice various skills related to paediatric first aid. The workshops may include demonstrations, simulations, and role-playing exercises to enhance participants' ability to respond effectively to emergencies involving infants and children.
