First aid is an essential skill for the entire family to learn so they can act confidently if an injury occurs.

The course costs $110 and covers:

• care of the unconscious child
  
• child and infant resuscitation
  
• choking
  
• asthma and croup
  
• fractures
  
• bites and stings
  
• head injuries
  
• convulsions
  
• bleeding
  
• dislodged teeth
  
• burns and scalds
  
• poisonings.

The Paediatric Emergency Care course is particularly worthwhile for parents, grandparents, nannies and child care providers.
