Imagine: Whilst feeding your child, they start to gag and appear unable to breathe. You have tried slapping them on the back, with no success. They seem close to losing consciousness, their lips are turning a definite shade of blue.

People rarely give first aid a thought, until the day they need it. The above scenario is the sort of every day occurrence that can so easily lead to tragedy.

However, with the correct first aid training anyone could, in the short term (until the arrival of the emergency services) save a life. This programme has been designed to aid you with your first aid knowledge with a hands on training from a professional first aid trainer.
