Paediatric First Aid Training Course (Level 3)

This Level 3 Paediatric First Aid Training Course from Lead Academy teaches the essential emergency response skills every parent and educator should have. The course covers first aid procedures specifically tailored to infants and children, whose physiological responses to injury and illness differ significantly from adults. Key topics include paediatric CPR and rescue breathing for infants and children, choking response procedures for different age groups, managing common childhood injuries (burns, fractures, head injuries, cuts, and bruises), recognizing and responding to allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, managing seizures and febrile convulsions, dealing with poisoning and ingestion incidents, recognizing signs of meningitis and sepsis, treating asthma attacks, and managing bleeding and wound care. The course also covers when to call emergency services versus when to manage a situation at home, how to create a child-safe environment to prevent accidents, and how to maintain a properly stocked first aid kit. For homeschool families, this knowledge is especially practical since you are often the primary caregiver during learning hours without the backup of school nurses or trained staff. The course is self-paced, requires no prior medical training, and provides a CPD-accredited certificate upon completion.
