Successful candidates will learn the roles and responsibilities of the paediatric first aider, and will be equipped with the necessary skills to administer safe and effective treatment when dealing with a range of paediatric first aid situations.

 

Topics / Areas Covered

  • The roles and responsibilities of a paediatric first aider
