Paediatric First Aid Training in Cumbria

GMC MedSafe provides comprehensive Paediatric First Aid training for childcare professionals, schools and organisations across Cumbria.

This two-day course gives learners the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to respond to a wide range of injuries and medical emergencies involving babies and children.

The qualification is particularly suitable for early years and childcare professionals who need to meet workplace or regulatory paediatric first aid requirements.

Who Is the Paediatric First Aid Course For?

Paediatric First Aid is suitable for anyone with a professional responsibility for babies and children.

This may include:

Nursery staff
Childminders
Preschool staff
Teachers and teaching assistants
Crèche staff
Playgroup staff
Holiday club staff
Children's activity providers
Other early years and childcare professionals

The course is particularly relevant where a full 12-hour Paediatric First Aid qualification is required as part of an organisation's childcare or early years arrangements.

What Does the Paediatric First Aid Course Cover?

The course covers a broad range of paediatric first aid emergencies and conditions affecting infants and children.

Learners will cover subjects including:

Responsibilities and reporting
Assessing an emergency situation
Paediatric CPR
Managing an unresponsive infant or child
Choking
Wounds and bleeding
Shock
Seizures and febrile convulsions
Head injuries

Practical activities and assessment are used throughout the course to help learners develop the confidence to respond appropriately to real paediatric emergencies.

How Long Is the Paediatric First Aid Course?

Paediatric First Aid involves a minimum of 12 hours of training, normally delivered over two days.

The course consists of both theoretical and practical learning.

Although it is commonly delivered over two consecutive days, the qualification can be delivered more flexibly where required, provided the course requirements are met and the programme is completed within the permitted timeframe. Nuco currently allows the qualification to be completed within six weeks of starting.
