The training is designed to boost confidence and competence in handling emergency situations such as unconsciousness, severe bleeding, shock, and more. Through practical, hands-on instruction, participants will learn to assess emergency situations and use available first aid equipment effectively.

First Aid at Work – Three Day Course

The comprehensive First Aid at Work course, conducted over three days, is an extensive program designed to equip employees with advanced skills in handling a variety of medical emergencies. This course not only revisits the fundamental techniques covered in the one-day Emergency First Aid at Work course, such as CPR and shock management, but also introduces more complex scenarios including heart attacks, strokes, and severe allergic reactions, providing practical experience with EpiPens and defibrillators. Attendees will engage in detailed discussions and hands-on practice to effectively assess and respond to emergencies, emphasising the importance of preventing cross-infection and maintaining accurate incident records. Ideal for employees in diverse settings, the course ensures that participants are prepared to handle emergencies in a calm and effective manner. The training atmosphere is designed to alleviate any concerns, including provisions for meals and refreshments, making the learning process comprehensive and comfortable. Successful completion of the course grants a certificate, affirming that the training meets the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations of 1981.

First Aid at Work Refresher – Two Day Course

The First Aid at Work Refresher course, lasting two days, is specifically tailored for individuals who have previously completed the comprehensive three-day First Aid at Work course. This refresher is crucial for keeping first aid skills sharp and certifications current, ensuring compliance with the latest health and safety regulations.
