Combined First Aid at Work and Paediatric First Aid

Who it's for

For workplaces where designated first aiders need to be competent across both adult and paediatric casualties — schools, nurseries, family-facing services, leisure and hospitality settings, family-run businesses, and multi-role safeguarding staff. Ideal where separate FAW and Paediatric qualifications would otherwise require two separate courses.

What you'll learn

• Assess and manage incidents involving both adult and paediatric casualties
• Perform CPR for adults, children, and infants
• Use an AED across adult and paediatric contexts
• Manage choking in adults, children, and infants
• Respond to shock, bleeding, burns, and injuries in both age groups
• Handle common medical emergencies including seizures, meningitis, asthma, and anaphylaxis
• Complete incident reporting to workplace and safeguarding standards
