Paediatric First Aid

---

Course Description

First aid covers a multitude of skill sets and responses to many medical situations. Its primary aim, is to provide immediate medical care and treatment that will either resolve the situation (in less  serious 'everyday' cases) or provide an essential short-term emergency stop-gap until professional  medical assistance is in place.

The aim of this course is to equip you with the theoretical knowledge, skills and confidence you need to deal with paediatric first aid situations. It covers all of the key topics including: emergency planning, assessing a situation, basic Life Support, CPR, shock, fractures, bleeding and a range of  other minor illness and injuries.

Please be aware that having a theoretical knowledge on its own is not enough to be considered competent in paediatric first aid and practical demonstration in some areas is required to complete this training.

Target Audience

Paediatric first aid is a skill that would be useful for anyone that works with children and infants. This includes those working in nursery, school and pre-school environments, as well as professional  childminders, club leaders and sports coaches. 

Advantages

Although it can sometimes be difficult in what are often emotionally-charged circumstances, First Aiders need to remain as calm and objective as possible, especially when there is a medical emergency. Having the training and knowledge to deal with the situation effectively.

The online format allows you to progress through the modules at your own speed, and at times when it's convenient for you to absorb the information. 

Further Progression

There are a lot of courses in our health and social care suite that would make great follow ups to this course. The main one for people starting out in the early years sector would be Introduction to the  Early Years Foundation Stage.

Additionally the courses covering Epilepsy Awareness and Diabetes Awareness would complement this course as they go into more detail about these conditions.

What do we mean by Person Centred Care, well the term originated in the 1940s and proposed taking a holistic view of service users in care settings. This means getting to know the person and then tailoring their care as much as possible to meet their specific needs. Person centred care is now a key principle outlined in current legislation and it plays an important part in the standards that they set out which must be followed by all care professionals working in this country.

This course will give you an understanding of person centred approaches for care and support, and how to implement a person-centred approach in an adult social care setting.

It starts by explaining what we mean by person centred care and where this term originated. It then goes on to analyse the values represented by person centred care and explains why care should be as much as possible tailored to each service user. Finally it will give you an overview of care plans, daily reports, the importance of obtaining consent and much more.

Course Description

In the UK there are approximately 144 fatalities in the workplace and around 621,000 non-fatal  injuries every year. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in managing Health & Safety risks. However, historical data shows many workers suffering injury were not wearing this clothing.

This course will show how wearing PPE plays a crucial role in preventing and reducing fatalities, injuries and diseases that would otherwise occur in the workplace. It includes details of a wide range of PPE options, examines the legislation and regulations that govern the responsibilities of employers, employees and suppliers, and provides a real-life case study showing the law in action.

The course will also cover risk assessment and the role it plays in the selection and use of PPE along with discussing other hazard control measures that can be implemented.  

Finally, the course will move on to how to use, fit and wear PPE and understand its physical and theoretical limitations. 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the legislation surrounding the use of PPE, legal obligations and the safety standards that need to be met for PPE to be effective and safe to use.
• Recognise that PPE is the last choice in the hierarchy of control and must only be used when stated as appropriate in risk assessments.
• Evaluate the different types of PPE, state where it provides protection and understand that PPE can be used in combination as 3 or 5 point protection.
• Understand the need for good maintenance of PPE and then where it can’t be maintained it should be replaced.
• Create effective methods to ensure broken or PPE that needs maintaining is not used.  

Target Audience

 This course is primarily aimed at people that work in industries such as construction where they are likely to need to use a wide range of PPE on a daily basis. However, there are many other areas of work where PPE is required such as factories, warehouses, window cleaners, healthcare workers, beauticians and many others. 

One of the key things this course is intended to do is to teach people why they should use the PPE that is supplied to them and it is some of these other work areas where this message will be most effective. 

Advantages

Candidates understanding how and why they should use PPE will mean they are more likely to use it consistently and correctly throughout their work. This has the advantage of reducing their risk of injury. 

Online training is flexible, efficient and cost-effective, so candidates can progress through the  modules at their own pace, in their own time, making it easy to fit the training around their work  and personal life.

When working in the adult social care sector, communicating is essential to develop your understanding of a service user's needs, so you can provide them with the support they require.

The effective management of projects is an essential skill in many workplaces. Correct control of stages and different aspects of projects helps to increase the chances of projects being successful.

When it’s done poorly the project can suffer from feature creep, delays, go over budget or not get finished at all.
