About the course

Children are not small adults: CPR, choking and many emergencies are handled differently for infants and children. This full-day PHECC course focuses entirely on them.

Participants practise on infant and child manikins and learn to recognise serious childhood illnesses early, so they know when to act and when to call for help.
