The figures above  are shocking and demonstrate the need for parents and family members to have basic first aid training. Sadly this training is often lacking from "parent craft classes". I have developed this short 2-3hr course to provide information on how to cope with first aid and medical emergencies in the home. The course has become extremely popular and is provided for Health Visitors, Midwives, NCT groups and families & friends in their home.

A typical course will last between 2-3hrs, topics usually covered include:

• Making an effective 999 call
• Dealing with an unconscious Child
• Resuscitation
• Choking
• and any other topics you would like covered.

The course is fun and informative and has been enjoyed by hundreds of parents so far. There is no limit to the amount of people that can attend.

The cost of the course for up to 15 people is £150, this is dependent on location.
