Paediatric First Aid Course in Camden, Greater London (Classroom)

Paediatric First Aid in Camden

Paediatric first aid training covers emergencies involving infants and children, which differ materially from adult first aid in technique, dosage of effort and the conditions most likely to present. Choking, febrile convulsions, meningitis, croup and anaphylaxis all need a different response in a child than in an adult.

For early years settings the requirement is not discretionary. The EYFS statutory framework requires at least one person with a current paediatric first aid certificate to be on the premises whenever children are present, and on outings.

Siren Training was founded by firefighters in 2012 and has grown into a national provider with a team of more than 250 instructors — paramedics, NHS clinicians, former police and armed forces personnel, and psychologists. That background shows in how the courses are taught: the emphasis is on what people actually do in the first few minutes of an emergency, rather than on working through a syllabus. Training covers workplace first aid, mental health first aid, fire safety and workplace conduct, delivered in the classroom and live online across the UK and Ireland.
