What Will You Learn?

  • This comprehensive First Aid and Basic Life Support course is designed to equip participants with the skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in a variety of emergency scenarios. Whether you’re working in a care home, a community setting, or simply want to be prepared for unexpected events, our evidence-based curriculum blends theory with hands-on practice. By the end of the course, you’ll have a robust understanding of essential first aid principles and the ability to provide immediate, potentially life-saving assistance until professional help arrives.
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) & CPR
  • Correctly administer adult, child, and infant CPR following the latest guidelines.
  • Use Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) confidently.
  • Apply a structured approach (e.g., checking responsiveness, airway, breathing) to stabilize casualties.
  • Choking Management
  • Recognize choking in adults, children, and infants, and differentiate between mild and severe airway obstructions.
  • Perform back blows, abdominal thrusts, and (for infants) chest thrusts safely and effectively.
  • Understand when to transition from choking maneuvers to CPR.
  • Wound Care & Bleeding Control
  • Use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly and maintain a sterile environment.
  • Control bleeding through direct pressure, elevation, and proper dressing techniques.
  • Clean and dress wounds to reduce infection risk and promote faster healing.
  • Falls & Fractures Management
  • Assess and secure the scene when someone has fallen, checking for hazards to prevent further injuries.
  • Recognize signs of fractures (e.g., swelling, deformity) and immobilize the injured area with splints or improvised supports.
  • Monitor for signs of shock and ensure appropriate documentation for ongoing care.
  • Medicine-Related Emergencies
  • Identify common medication errors, such as overdose or missed doses, and provide immediate first aid support.
  • Recognize symptoms like confusion, breathing difficulties, or allergic reactions associated with medication misuse.
  • Gather vital information (time of ingestion, dosage, etc.) for medical professionals to expedite treatment.
  • Seizure Management
  • Distinguish between generalized (tonic-clonic) and focal seizures, tailoring responses to each type.
  • Protect individuals from injury by clearing hazards and cushioning their head without restraining them.
  • Position them safely post-seizure and know when to call emergency services (e.g., seizures lasting longer than five minutes).
  • Allergic Reactions
  • Identify the spectrum of allergy symptoms, from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis (throat swelling, breathing difficulty).
  • Administer basic supportive measures—such as antihistamines—or assist with an epinephrine auto-injector if required.
  • Maintain a calm environment and monitor the airway until advanced help arrives.

Course Content

Introduction to First Aid
Understand the importance of first aid in care settings.You will learn how first aid can prevent minor issues from becoming major emergencies and how it builds a culture of safety and preparedness.

  • Introduction to First Aid

Basic Life Support (BLS) & CPR
Overview of Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR: Covers the key steps of scene safety, calling for help, airway and breathing checks, appropriate compression depths, and AED usage for effective emergency response. Practical Exercises and Resources: Emphasizes hands-on practice with manikins, demonstrations, and peer feedback, supported by visual aids and AED trainers to build confidence and proficiency.

Choke Management

Wound Care & Bleeding Control
An overview of best practices for wound care and bleeding control, emphasizing PPE use, bleeding management techniques, thorough cleaning and dressing procedures, and meticulous documentation.

Falls & Fractures Management
A calm, immediate response to falls and suspected fractures—spotting injury signs, immobilizing the affected area, and closely monitoring for shock—can significantly reduce further harm while awaiting professional medical assistance.

Medicine-Related Emergencies
Promptly recognizing medication errors or adverse reactions, providing initial support, and collecting critical information are key to managing medicine-related emergencies until professional care arrives.

Seizure Management
Seizure management emphasises creating a safe environment, avoiding restraint or objects in the mouth, and seeking help if episodes exceed five minutes, recur without recovery, or occur under unknown circumstances.

Allergic Reactions
Swift recognition of allergic reactions—especially anaphylaxis—along with supportive measures like airway monitoring and epinephrine administration can be life-saving before advanced help arrives.

I recently completed the First Aid Training course, and it was an incredibly valuable and informative experience. The course content was well-structured, easy to understand, and covered all the essential areas—from basic wound care to managing more serious incidents like seizures and CPR. The practical guidance and real-life scenarios helped boost my confidence in responding to emergencies calmly and effectively. I feel much more prepared to assist in both personal and professional settings. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to gain essential life-saving skills.
