First Aid for Kids

I recently went on a course aimed specifically at carrying out first aid and saving the lives of children and babies. I'd been looking specifically for a course like this for ages, even contacting St Johns Ambulance who told me that they didn't do anything like this.

I thought it was brilliant, and I'll happily post a link on here (if the Mods will let me?) for anyone else that's interested. The lady that does it currently works in Cheshire/Manchester, but I know she's looking to expand and offer country-wide franchises.

I definitely feel more confident now in my own ability to help should anything happen to my boys. (Hopefully all they'll ever need is a sticking-plaster though!)

you can post a link in the forum for it that's fine

ok, thanks!

The lady that did the course was lovely and I met some lovely people on the course. I think it cost about £31 (I'm sure the price is on the website somewhere) but she also does home visits if you can get enough friends around your house to cover the cost. Like I said, for peace of mind, I thought it was well worth it.

I did a short course that was free and offered to me by my Hv. It was great and was really pleased I'd done it. Definitely worth doing xx

It's something I'd love to do, however I can cope with other people bing injured, sorted a chefs thumb oven when he missed with meat cleaver, but my own kids blood, just brings panic lol

I wish they did something like that over here... actually they probably do but i've just never looked into it. I'm lucky in that the dr is a couple of minutes (like 2!) up the road from me but I really worry about the kids choking and me not knowing what to do!
