GMC MedSafe provides practical Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) training for businesses and organisations across Cumbria. This one-day course gives learners the essential skills and confidence to respond to common workplace first aid emergencies until professional medical help arrives.

Training can be delivered directly at your workplace, making it a convenient option for employers who need to train several members of staff while minimising travel and disruption.

Who Is the EFAW Course For?

Emergency First Aid at Work is suitable for employees who have been nominated to provide first aid within their workplace, as well as individuals who want to develop practical emergency first aid skills.

The course is commonly suitable for workplaces such as offices, retail businesses, warehouses, workshops, hospitality venues and other organisations where an Emergency First Aider at Work is considered appropriate.

Employers should determine their first aid requirements through an appropriate workplace first aid needs assessment.

What Does the Emergency First Aid at Work Course Cover?

The EFAW course focuses on the practical skills required to recognise and respond to common workplace first aid emergencies.

Learners are encouraged to take an active part throughout the course, with practical scenarios used to develop confidence as well as technical ability.

How Long Is the EFAW Course?

The course includes both theoretical knowledge and practical first aid activities, so learners should be prepared to participate in practical exercises such as CPR and casualty positioning.

For workplace groups, GMC MedSafe can arrange training dates around your organisation's operational requirements where possible.

EFAW Course Prices and Group Bookings

Emergency First Aid at Work training is available for workplace groups, with quotations based on the number of learners, location and training requirements.
