Mini Medics - An Introduction to First Aid for Children

 This is a very basic introduction to First Aid and Defibrillation aimed at children between the ages of 8 and 11, but it can suit children of any age. The course is kept at a basic level with no use of confusing terminologies. The course will show complete respect for the child’s ability, make it educational and practical, and instil the importance of helping someone who is poorly or injured. 

This course is jargon free and takes about 3 hrs to complete respecting a child’s educational and practical ability to have them feel confident to help someone who is unwell or injured.

This half day course is delivered in your own premises and includes simulated use of a range of teaching aids, a certificate and an activity booklet. Contact us to discuss the number of pupils and requirements.
