A hands-on first aid course for parents, grandparents and anyone else interested in helping a baby or small child in an emergency. The instructor, Marianne Mogensen, is a certified first aid instructor and physiotherapist, and she draws on her health-professional background to cover the essentials.
Most of the session is spent practising in small groups with special junior and baby CPR manikins, so you learn by doing rather than only listening. Topics include the four steps of first aid, checking consciousness and breathing, CPR, the recovery position, calling for help, using an AED, and dealing with choking, with a brief overview of infections, falls, burns, poisoning, fever cramps and bleeding. Every participant or couple receives a first aid book in English.
