Practical, sector-specific first aid training designed for care professionals.
Practical first aid for health and social care settings
This one-day course has been created specifically for those working in health and social care settings who need practical first aid skills that reflect real workplace challenges.
It follows the same principles as the Highfield Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work course, but adds a strong focus on care-specific scenarios and patient considerations such as DNR, head injuries, and cardiac emergencies.
