Bite Size First Aid - Course Overview

This short, bite sized training session is designed as a taster in emergency first aid procedures for adults, children, and babies. It provides a simple introduction to managing common first aid situations, helping participants feel more confident responding in the early stages of an incident.

Training covers how to manage a first aid incident, place an unconscious casualty into the recovery position, perform CPR for adults, children, and babies, and recognise and respond to choking and seizures. A question-and-answer session is also included, giving participants the chance to clarify key points and build understanding in a relaxed learning environment.

 

Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for anyone looking for a basic introduction to first aid, including parents, carers, workplace staff, and individuals with little or no previous first aid experience.

It works well as a taster for those considering more in-depth first aid training in the future, offering a good starting point before progressing to courses such as Emergency First Aid at Work or Emergency Paediatric First Aid.

What You'll Learn

  • How to manage a first aid incident
  • Dealing with an unconscious casualty/recovery position
  • Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (adults, children and babies)
  • Recognition and treatment of choking
  • Recognition and treatment of seizures
  • Question and answer session

On completion, participants will receive a certificate of attendance, valid for 3 years.

    Just had feedback from my guys who attended the First Aid Course yesterday. I have never received such good feedback from any course I have sent the guys on. They were all very impressed with the whole days course and the trainers were said to be "fantastic". This morning I was waiting for the moans and groans but it was totally the opposite and sang your praises to the highest level! A particular mention was for Laura who was apparently VERY VERY good and very impressed with the way she delivered the course. So from me, thank you for delivering what was said to be a very enjoyable and very informative course!

    I have to say how much I enjoyed the First Aid Training course that I was lucky to be part of last week, and cannot think of a time when I have had so much fun.....working. David is an excellent trainer, and everybody has come away very positive about the complete 3 days. His manner, approach, and skill/knowledge base was excellent, and I will definitely be recommending your company to anyone who wishes to complete this course, following this experience. Please pass my thanks to Dave, for doing such an excellent job, and wish him well.

    Dave,

    Well what to say..... Thanks to First Response my training detected a broken wrist my 5 year old daughter had today. The injury happened at school all the teachers/first aiders failed to spot it. The injury happened 3 hours before I collected her no response from anyone at school but I did what I was taught by Brian and spotted the signs did a sweep only took 10 seconds. Poor girl was at school for 3 hrs with a fracture. 10 seconds with me and my training had her in A&E 20 minutes later. Cast on... Thank you for teaching me guys.

    “I want to say a big THANK YOU. Your first aid course saved my grandson's life today, he choked badly and I managed to dislodge the bread from his mouth, after about 12 back slaps. Your courses save lives. I will never moan about doing a first aid course again! THANK YOU!”

    The trainer and resources were brilliant. Brian made everything very clear and I felt comfortable asking about things I was unsure about.
