Paediatric First Aid Courses, Training & Qualifications

First aid refers to the help given to someone who got injured or ill to secure their safety and to cause no further harm. Paediatric first aider centres on the child and infant age groups.

If you are Paediatric First Aid trained, you can conduct first aid in a medical emergency and potentially help save a life. It is important to be educated on the welfare and safety of children. Knowing the basic first aid procedures to allow you to conduct first aid is vital.

Young children have very different needs from adults. Adults may cope with some medical situations themselves. At the same time, children may experience panic and distress and are less likely to follow instructions.
There are also different challenges in treating children and infants. They may have difficulties describing how they feel or understanding the situation. Children are also more vulnerable to various illnesses and injuries than adults.
