Registration: 09:00-09:30

Course Details
Evidence continues to demonstrate how quickly emergent skills erode and how standard training in the hospital or clinical setting does not address the needs of the pre-hospital practitioner. Delegates are encouraged to re-evaluate their emergent skills and knowledge and discuss their own experiences and concerns amongst their peers, based on actual scenarios and case studies.
This course provides the minimum level of statutory first aid training recommended by the Health and Safety Executive. You will be awarded a nationally-recognised ‘Emergency First Aid at Work’ certificate which is valid for 3 years and is accepted by all healthcare and therapy governing bodies for insurance and CPD purposes.
