About this Event
It’s a scary statistic for parents, that of all infant and childhood injuries, 80% happen within the home.
As parents, or parents to be, are we skilled to handle a medical emergency?
The course runs for 3 hours and costs $95 (+booking fee) per person. It is practical and hands-on in a small group, with a focus on the most common household injuries known to affect babies and toddlers. At the end of the session you will be more confident in what to do in an emergency situation, equipped with the knowledge on how to save a life and know what to do in the crucial time where you are waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
You will learn CPR for babies and children on QCPR laerdal training manikins that provide live feedback.
You will also learn how to manage:
- Choking
- Fevers and febrile convulsions
- Burns and scalds
- Head injuries
- Allergic reactions
- Poisons, bites and stings
- Drownings
The sessions are run by Nicole Scurr from The Parenting Place. Nicole has extensive experience in teaching paediatric emergency, maternal child health, lactation therapy and first aid.
Nicole is passionate about education, and as a parent of three, is aware of how important it is to have knowledge surrounding first aid to help your children when you least expect it.
Educating parents on how to respond in an emergency is essential knowledge, it may not be your own child you assist!
