Baby & Child Emergency First Aid – Crowborough

From your newborn’s first few weeks to winter childhood illnesses and emergency first aid — learn to recognise when something is wrong and know what to do. Join Paramind Medical Ltd at Prestige Park, Crowborough, for a practical, reassuring three-hour session delivered by frontline ambulance staff. Gain confidence with newborns, babies and young children, in a welcoming environment where questions are encouraged.

What the session covers

• Your newborn’s first few weeks: understanding early breathing, feeding concerns, temperature, responsiveness and colour, and learning which changes may require urgent medical advice.
• Winter childhood illnesses, including croup: recognising the barking cough, stridor and warning signs of deteriorating breathing, alongside bronchiolitis, RSV and other common seasonal illnesses.
• Recognising breathing distress: intercostal recession (the skin pulling in between the ribs), abdominal recession, fast or noisy breathing and changes in colour.
• Fever and febrile seizures: what to do, what to avoid and when to seek urgent help.
• Choking: the different first aid techniques for babies and older children, with guided practical demonstrations.
• CPR and emergencies: responding to an unresponsive baby or child, calling 999, and practising age-appropriate CPR skills.
• Common childhood emergencies: severe allergic reactions, burns, scalds and signs of serious illness.
• Confidence at home: what to tell the ambulance service, how to stay as calm as possible, and what to do while help is on its way.

This is interactive, practical learning with demonstrations, guided participation and time to ask the questions that matter to you. No previous first aid knowledge is needed.

Who is this course for?
