Family first aid
Life is precious and so are the skills and confidence to save one.
All too often we assume that there will be someone on hand to call for help if we need some emergency care.
However, there are times when some simple first aid training and skills can save your baby or a family member’s life or prevent life hindering injuries.
Our Family First Aid course is aimed at giving you the skills and confidence to treat some common occurring situations. The course is suitable for parents, expectant parents and carers of babies and young children.
Give yourself the precious gift of knowing that you can make a huge difference to someone’s life.
