    This includes:

    carrying out a risk assessment,

    appointing a suitable amount of first aiders

    providing appropriate first aid training, including where necessary Emergency First Aid at Work Training.

    However, having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff!

    The QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) qualification is designed for individuals who wish to act as an emergency first-aider in their workplace.  Upon successful completion of this qualification, candidates will be equipped with the essential skills needed to give safe, prompt and
    effective first aid in emergency situations.

    What’s more, as a regulated qualification, employers can book this course for their employees and rest assured that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks.

    To its west is the core public green area that is the heath and Greenwich Park, in which sit major London tourist attractions including the Greenwich Observatory and Greenwich Prime Meridian.

    What should be in a first aid kit?
    What should be in a first aid kit?

    First aid kits that are “HSE Approved” are green with a white cross.  These should be in an easily accessible place with the record book.  Staff should be made aware of their location.
    You can add things to your first aid kit that you consider relevant to your work place.

    For a list of the contents of a first aid kit follow this link

    Remember to check your first aid kits regularly as things do expire, and make sure you keep them stocked up when they have been used.

    Do you teach how to use the AED on your courses?
    Do you teach how to use the AED on your courses?

    An AED is used to restart the heart of a person who is in cardiac arrest.

    75% of adults who collapse and stop breathing will be in a shockable rhythm.  Prompt use of an AED will increase their chances of survival significantly.

    Use of the AED is covered and assessed on all courses.  Early use of an AED is key to the survival of adults in cardiac arrest.  The more people we can educate to use AEDs the better.

    Do I have to do a written test?
    Do I have to do a written test?

    Yes, most of our courses will require you to take a written test, this is usually multiple choice and the course should have covered all you need to know. If you are concerned or would like to discuss this further please do get in touch or enquire on booking.

    Are any of your first aid courses 100% online?
    Are any of your first aid courses 100% online?

    We offer a range of different courses online, many of which are great for your professional development as they are CPD accredited.  We also have a parent first aid course which is available online which is for information purposes to give parents some basic knowledge of how to cope in the event of an emergency.

    For a certified first aid course such as:

    • Paediatric first aid
    • Emergency First Aid at Work
    • First Aid at Work

    to be meet the requirements of the health and safety executive, Ofsted, the varying awarding bodies and any other relevant bodies there needs to be an assessment of the skills needed to be a first aider.  This includes things such as

    • such as CPR,
    • the recovery position,
    • how to manage choking,
    • wounds, bleeding and shock.

    This means that a proportion of the training will need be delivered and assessed face to face.

    We offer blended learning which is part online and part face to face.
