Paediatric First Aid training is a specialised form of early years first aid training that focuses on the unique needs and considerations when providing emergency care to infants, children, and adolescents including Baby CPR, Child CPR, Anaphylaxis Training and is perfect First Aid Training for Schools and early years establishments.  This course equips individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively and confidently in medical emergencies involving young patients, babies, infants and children.

This Paediatric First Aid Training covers a range of topics, including assessing and managing common paediatric injuries and illnesses, such as burns, fractures, allergic reactions, choking, and seizures.  Participants learn how to recognise the signs and symptoms of these conditions and how to provide appropriate first aid interventions.
