Emergency First Aid at Work equips you with the essential skills to respond effectively to workplace accidents and medical emergencies. Delivered in a single day or over two half-day sessions, the course combines practical exercises with clear guidance to build confidence in managing incidents safely. It is suitable for both work and everyday environments, ensuring participants are prepared to act calmly and effectively when needed.
The course begins with an introduction to the role and responsibilities of a First Aider, covering essential legislation and workplace requirements. You will learn how to evaluate a situation quickly, prioritise care, and ensure personal safety while assisting others.
Practical training includes CPR on adults, children, and infants, use of an automated external defibrillator, and placing a casualty in the recovery position. Simulations will prepare you for handling choking, seizures, and severe bleeding, along with basic care for sprains, fractures, asthma attacks, and diabetic emergencies.
Sessions are interactive and engaging, allowing participants to practice skills in realistic scenarios while receiving personalised guidance. The course concludes with a review of record-keeping, incident reporting, and techniques to keep yourself and others safe until professional help arrives.
Courses can be arranged at your workplace or home for convenience, making it easy to fit training around your schedule. Alternatively, sessions are available at Ellerton Road, which offers ample free parking and easy access via public transport.
Ellerton Road provides a comfortable training environment with dedicated space for practical exercises and demonstrations. The surrounding area is quiet and accessible, allowing participants to focus fully on learning without distraction.
No prior first aid experience is required, making this course suitable for beginners and those seeking a refresher. Participants should be able to engage in practical exercises that involve kneeling, bending, and moving around safely.
A basic understanding of health and safety in the workplace is helpful but not essential. The course is designed to meet HSE standards, ensuring all participants gain the minimum workplace requirement for first aid certification.
The instructor brings extensive experience in both first aid and natural therapies, providing a deep understanding of the human body and emergency care. This combination allows participants to receive clear, practical guidance that empowers them to act confidently in a wide range of situations.
Training is tailored to each group’s needs while meeting all HSE requirements, whether for individuals, small businesses, or larger organisations. Sessions are delivered in a supportive and engaging environment, ensuring participants gain the knowledge and confidence needed to respond effectively in emergencies.
