Half day (3 hours) First Aid Annual Refresher - Course Overview
This annual refresher course is strongly recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to help reduce skill fade in individuals who have previously completed either the First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work courses.
The refresher provides an opportunity to revisit essential first aid skills, update knowledge in line with current guidance, and rebuild confidence in responding to workplace emergencies. It helps ensure first aiders remain competent, prepared, and able to act quickly and effectively should an incident occur.
