Who is this course suitable for?

If you are a designated workplace first aider, or training to be one, our course has been designed for those who are taking on first aid responsibilities at work, from dealing with minor wounds to responding in life‑threatening situations.

Responding to injuries and illnesses isn't just about knowing how to administer first aid. This course will teach the key skills and qualities you need to ensure you remain calm under pressure and know how to communicate effectively, whether that's giving clear instructions or reporting incidents accurately.

Being a workplace first aider requires empathy, compassion and patience. By completing this course you will be better prepared to respond calmly and confidently to medical emergencies in the workplace. It supports the development of a safety-first culture, where staff feel empowered to act quickly, support colleagues in distress, and understand their responsibilities in keeping others safe. This helps promote a proactive, well-prepared environment that prioritises health, wellbeing, and compliance with workplace safety standards.

It is especially relevant for staff in organisations where there is a higher risk of injuries, or where more serious incidents may occur due to the nature of the work, environment, or workforce.

A Special Mention

"I wanted to say a huge thank you for the 2 day restraint training you provided. As a parent I found it so comforting and reassuring to be trained with my son’s new staff team. Hearing how much emphasis was placed on values really impressed me. As did the training which really looked at avoiding having to use restraint. The training was really able to be tailored to the individual needs of my son which was incredibly helpful for all his new staff who I believe came away with a really deep knowledge of his triggers and how to de-escalate him.

I would recommend it to any parent in the position of their young person moving into supported living. Not only was it a great way to start building relationships with his staff but it was incredibly reassuring to know that the care company are really invested in finding the right training which focuses on treating their service users as people and want staff with the right values working with him. I can’t thank you enough for letting me attend. I know that some trainers would find it difficult training parents along side staff because it could have the potential to alter the dynamics so I’m really delighted you allowed me the opportunity.

A huge thank you from a very reassured mum!"
