Paediatric First Aid – Level 3 Theory

£22.50

Children and infants require specific first aid responses that differ from those used with adults. This accredited paediatric first aid training course at Level 3 provides the theoretical knowledge needed to respond to emergencies involving infants under 1 year old and children up to the onset of puberty.

The course is designed for anyone responsible for the welfare of children, including parents, teachers, childminders, crèche assistants, and playgroup staff. It is also ideal for those seeking an accredited Paediatric First Aid Award to support their professional role.

Learners will gain a clear understanding of the responsibilities of a paediatric first aider, how to assess emergency situations, and how to provide safe and effective first aid for a wide range of conditions and injuries.

Why Take Paediatric First Aid Training?

Accidents and medical emergencies involving children can happen at any time. Without the right training, carers and professionals may feel unprepared to respond. This course ensures learners understand how to act quickly, apply correct techniques, and provide reassurance in critical situations.
