“I was a little apprehensive about doing a first aid course via Zoom, however, it worked so well. The trainer, Nurse Polly, was excellent. Very clear and precise and she kept it very interesting and under control without deviations.”

Julie Ann Thompson

We would highly recommend this course to parents and grandparents alike.

“We received online First Aid training in CPR, and dealing with unconsciousness and choking for babies up to the age of one, to help us to deal with emergencies that may arise while looking after our grandchildren. The course has given us much more confidence in how to deal with emergencies.”

Robert Preston

Peace of mind

“I did a first aid course for babies when my first son was born. It was extremely useful, delivered in a very professional and engaging way with a really friendly coach. So important to have peace of mind that you know how to react in potentially life-saving situations. Highly recommend.”

Louise Linder

Fantastic

“I did a baby first aid course with HealthFirst which was just fantastic for giving memorable, sensible first aid advice in a fun, relaxed environment. I still refer to the handout from time to time, just to ensure I have it all still fresh in my mind. ”
