First Aid
Aim of the Course

This is a four hour Appointed Persons' First Aid course specially designed for existing or newly qualified complementary therapists who do not hold a recognised certificate in First Aid.

Therapists wishing to renew their first aid certificate may also wish to attend.

The course will give you the confidence and first aid skills necessary should you find
yourself having to administer first aid during a therapy treatment or while
at your place of your work.

An increasing number of associations and membership bodies now require members
to have first aid training in order to obtain insurance.

The course is led by Paul Dumbleton of PD Medical Training Services, an experienced paramedic who is a member of Hampshire Ambulance Service.
