Course Overview

The Paediatric First Aid module is a specialized program designed for carers working with infants and children. Emergency response for younger service users requires a different set of skills and physiological understanding compared to adult care. This course ensures you can provide rapid, effective, and age-appropriate support in a home care setting.

Delivered at our West Hampstead Academy—the only facility in the area with dedicated paediatric training equipment—this module focuses on keeping children safe and giving carers the confidence to handle high-pressure situations.
