First Aid for Parents & Child Carers - 3 Hours

Practical Baby & Child First Aid Training in Doncaster

Every parent, grandparent and child carer hopes they will never face a medical emergency involving a baby or child. However, having the confidence to recognise a serious illness and provide immediate first aid can make a significant difference whilst waiting for emergency medical assistance.

Our 3 Hour First Aid for Parents & Child Carers Course is a practical, hands-on awareness course designed to teach the essential life-saving skills needed to respond confidently to a wide range of childhood emergencies.

Unlike shorter awareness sessions, this extended course includes additional topics such as severe bleeding, burns and scalds, fractures, asthma, diabetes, allergic reactions and meningitis, providing learners with broader knowledge and greater confidence.

Courses are available at our Doncaster training centre or can be delivered on-site for parent groups, family hubs, charities, schools and community organisations throughout South Yorkshire.
