Paediatric First Aid
If you are working with infants and children it is imperative that you know what to do in an emergency. The Paediatric programme teaches appropriate CPR and First Aid skills for the care of infants and children. It makes excellent training for teachers, child care staff, school bus drivers and monitors, parents, grandparents, home helps, nannies and baby sitters.
