Our Paediatric First Aid Training gives you the essential skills to respond quickly and safely when a baby or child is choking, injured or unwell. This CPD-accredited course is aligned with Resuscitation Council UK guidance and the EYFS framework, making it trusted by childcare settings, schools, and families across the UK.
Our Resuscitation Council UK aligned paediatric first aid course is designed for childcare professionals, nursery teams, early years staff, childminders, foster carers, parents and individuals responsible for the welfare of children. It teaches practical infant and child CPR, choking response, emergency assessment, first aid for injuries, and urgent illness management. You will learn to adapt and employ basic first aid techniques for a child or baby, manage situations from minor cuts and grazes to performing CPR on an unresponsive infant, and respond effectively when a child is in distress.
Through practical guidance from our paediatric first aid training, you will also learn how to interact with a young casualty, keep them calm, and recognise when to call an emergency. Suitable for both professional and home settings, this training builds confidence in real-life situations.
