Baby First Aid for Parents
Grandparents and Carers
As parents, keeping our children safe and healthy is the most important part of our lives.
But even in the safety of the home, accidents can happen, and it only takes a second for disaster to strike.
Knowing what to do in these situations can be the difference between life and death. It’s something I hope you’ll never have to use; but baby first aid is something every parent, grandparent, babysitter, and carer should learn.
My course only takes around 3 hours, so can be completed in a morning, afternoon, or evening. Consider this: learning to drive takes around 50 hours, but learning to save a life takes only three. First aid training is truly priceless and this course has saved lives.
The Importance of Baby First Aid
Emergencies are unpredictable, and having the skills to respond promptly can prevent further injury and even save lives. Something as simple as treating a burn or knowing how to keep an airway clear is essential while you wait for an ambulance.
First aid is not about replacing the emergency services, it is about how you can help whilst waiting for them to arrive. First aid in those vital minutes may save a life.
My professionally taught course is not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about gaining peace of mind. By completing this simple 3-hour course, you are taking a proactive step in safeguarding your family’s well-being and will learn how to make that dreaded feeling of helplessness a thing of the past.
I specialise in group training courses. This means that you and your family can all learn together. If you all have the necessary first aid skills, your home will become a lot safer.
What does a Baby First Aid Course Include?
My courses may only take a few hours, but teach you as many first aid skills as possible with practical demonstrations and immersive training.
Here is what I cover:
CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation): Techniques for babies, children, and adults.
Choking: Procedures for all ages.
Recovery Position: Instructions for everyone.
Burns and Scalds: Immediate treatment steps.
Insect Bites & Stings: Management and care.
Severe Allergic Reactions & Anaphylaxis: Emergency response.
Meningitis: Recognition and initial steps.
Raised Temperatures & Fevers: Handling and reducing risks.
Febrile Convulsions: Management and care.
Bleeding: Control and treatment.
Bumps & Head Injuries: Appropriate response.
Poisoning: Emergency actions.
Plus many other essential skills that could save a child’s life.
A large portion of the skills you’ll learn are transferable for other emergency situations. Although focused on first aid for babies and young children, my courses cover as many bases as possible, so you can use what you’ve learned in the future.
To make sure the courses stay with you, I make them as practical as they can be. I will always bring at least 9 manikins, ensuring ample opportunity for participants to practice essential skills without waiting.
