Would you know what to do if you saw a child in need of First Aid?

Children are prone to minor injuries, but suffer from serious injuries also

In 2014, 2,269 children in the UK were so badly bitten by an animal they had to be admitted to hospital

More than 2 million children have accidents in the home for which they're taken to A&E - every year, with Under 5s accounting for 7% of all hospital emergency treatments

Being able to deal with peadiatric emergencies can make the difference between the life and death of children, and save them a lot of suffering.

This QA Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF) qualification is ideal for:
