Have you ever been in a situation where a baby, toddler or child in your care required urgent medical attention or was unconscious and required CPR? Did you have the knowledge and confidence to help them? Or did you stand back powerless and unable to save their life or alleviate their pain?
Babies and children are dependent little beings, and whilst in your care, are your responsibility. If you are a child care worker, parent, aunty or uncle, grandparent, or just think fondly of any little person in your life, make sure you are equipped with the appropriate skills and knowledge so that if the situation should ever arise, you could competently assist that special little person until proper medical help arrived.
We're sure you can see the importance of keeping your First Aid and CPR qualifications up to date, particularly if you are a child care worker. Children are highly prone to accidents and illness and unfortunately an increasing number of children suffer seizures, asthma and severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis to nuts and other food items. As a child care worker it is imperitive that you know how to respond in any of these situations.
First Aid Pro is a leading mobile first aid training organisation who offer specialised training for child care workers and parents of all descriptions. If you would like to become a pro at First Aid, you need to talk to us.
In Queensland, anyone wishing to purchase asthma reliever medication for first aid purposes must have successfully completed an Asthma Management Course. This is a one hour stand alone course or can be incorporated into our Nationally Accredited 'Apply First Aid' course.
