Course content

A range of subjects are covered including:

• Resuscitation (CPR and rescue breaths)

Although focusing on emergency First Aid, we offer the flexibility to tailor and extend session times to cover additional topics upon consultation. If you have a group interested in concentrating on specific areas, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

PLEASE NOTE:

Some topics may be sensitive to individuals, and certain discussions can potentially trigger upset. It is essential to communicate any concerns to the trainer in advance (preferably via email) so that appropriate measures can be taken to ensure a supportive and safe learning environment for all participants. Early notification allows trainers to adapt their approach and content effectively, fostering a more comfortable and productive experience.

Assessment

There is no assessment aspect to this short course. However, we would like to ensure participants are able to administer CPR effectively, so would encourage participants to try resuscitation protocols using one of our manikins.

Should this pose any challenges for participants please contact us for further information.

We are here to assist you and address any concerns you may have.
