I joined a lovely group of
parents on a 2-hour course with Mini First Aid North Hampshire and East
Wiltshire. It was immensely insightful and I came away feeling confident and
extremely fortunate to have found such a great class.
Have you been thinking about doing a first aid class?
Well did you know…..
There is a significant difference in the procedure for
giving CPR to babies and CPR to children over 1 year old
Around 5,000 children a year suffer from burns and the
faster and longer the burn is cooled, the less impact of the injury there is
There is a specific part of the nose you should ‘pinch’ and
apply pressure to if your child is having a nose bleed
Scissors in the average First Aid kit are not sharp enough
to cut through clothing or fabric… Which should be one of their main uses
Whilst weaning, babies gagging can be completely normal, but
you need to look out for ‘silent gagging’
The amount of force needed in a back blow or chest thrust to
aid a child who is choking is probably considerably more than you realise
That febrile convulsions, seizures and fits are commonly
caused in young children by a raised body temperature or fever
Do you feel confident that you could help a baby or child if
they needed you in an emergency? If not, then I urge you to book your Mini
First Aid class TODAY!
Lucy is an excellent teacher who shares her knowledge and
expertise with you in a variety of ways. The class is interactive and allows participants
to ask questions, take an active role in practising a range of procedures on
the ‘dummies’ provided and, most importantly, is run a relaxed friendly atmosphere
which allows parents to leave feeling confident and reassured.
As a teacher myself, I have undertaken mandatory First Aid
training for a number of years, but this course is by far the best I have attended.
Purposeful and informative, Lucy shares her own experiences with you which
relate to her own children and her friends’ children, along with stories of how
she has helped and supported parents and carers out in the community, you never
know when you might be able to help!
Lucy runs a range of different classes throughout North Hampshire
and East Wiltshire including:
-Baby & Child First Aid – Open classes and private classes
available for parents, grandparents and carers
-Mini First Aid – Classes for children aged 8-11 and classes
for early years children aged 3-6
-Mini First Aid at Work – For employees and their families
as well as 12 hour paediatric training course for childminders
and nursery workers
I would highly recommend these wonderful classes to you all.
To have the knowledge and confidence necessary to help a baby or child in a
medical emergency is worth investing in.
I urge you to book a class for yourself and for your
children as soon as possible! Why not get a group of you together and book a
private class in your own home? Or arrange a 1 to 1 session for you and your
family?
Or just check out the great class options which are coming
up in your area..
