Paediatric First Aid

What is paediatric first aid?

A first-aider must have an appropriate first-aid qualification and the qualification must be appropriate to the ages of the children in their care.​ Our paediatric first aid e-learning course gives learners the opportunity to undertake online paediatric first-aid training which forms part of the requirements needed for learners to go onto achieve the Highfield Level 3 Award in Paediatric First Aid (RQF).
