Description
Children are naturally active and curious, which means accidents and medical emergencies can happen at any time. Ensuring children’s safety requires confidence, competence, and compliance. This Complete Paediatric First Aid Course Online from High Skills Training covers infant and child CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), use of AEDs, the recovery position, and management of choking, unresponsive children, and other emergencies.
This online course is designed for anyone working with infants or children, along with childcare staff, childminders, nannies, teachers, parents, and grandparents. This course provides comprehensive knowledge and skills to respond to emergencies while staying EYFS-compliant and Ofsted-recognised.
It covers the fundamentals of paediatric first aid such as primary and secondary assessments, infection control, hygiene, and effective communication to maintain safety in any childcare or home environment.
The training includes circulatory and bleeding management, treatment of burns, scalds, hypothermia, and heat-related injuries. Musculoskeletal injuries, head and neurological emergencies, and handling exposure to toxins or poisoning are also explained. Allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are covered, including the correct use of epinephrine auto-injectors and creating personalised allergy action plans.
Learners will also explore common childhood illnesses, including fever, dehydration, respiratory infections, and rashes, alongside safety and prevention strategies such as childproofing, water safety, fire safety, and emergency preparedness drills. All content aligns with Millie’s Mark, FAIB, and Level 3 Award qualifications, making it suitable for compliance-driven staff and parents seeking confidence.
This course contains illustrations, making it easier for you to understand the topics more clearly. Upon completion, learners gain access to additional resources, checklists, a retakeable quiz, and a FREE Digital CPD certificate.
With 24/7 learner support and a 14-day money-back guarantee, this designated safeguarding lead training ensures learners are confident, competent, and fully prepared to handle paediatric emergencies online.
