Description
Paediatric First Aid course. Paediatric first aid refers to the immediate care and treatment given to infants, children, and adolescents who have been injured or suddenly taken ill. It focuses on addressing the unique needs and medical conditions that may arise in younger age groups. The primary aim of paediatric first aid is to stabilise the child’s condition, prevent the situation from worsening, and provide care until professional medical help can be obtained.
Overall, paediatric first aid equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to handle emergency situations involving children, ensuring their safety and well-being.
The aim of this online e learning course is to equip you with the theoretical knowledge, skills and confidence you need to deal with paediatric first aid situations. It covers all of the key topics including: emergency planning, assessing a situation, basic Life Support, CPR, shock, fractures, bleeding and a range of other minor illness and injuries.
Please be aware that having a theoretical knowledge on its own is not enough to be considered competent in paediatric first aid and practical demonstration in some areas is required to complete this training.
