Baby First Aid Course

What will I learn?

Learn vital skills with our Baby First Aid Training Programme, designed for nurses and other caregivers wanting to improve their knowledge in looking after small children. You'll learn how to do things like back blows and chest thrusts to save a baby who is choking, understand how a baby's body is made, and know the signs of choking. We'll keep you informed on what the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association say is the best way to do things. You'll become confident in what to do in an emergency and how to care for the baby afterwards, making sure babies are safe and well.
