- The causes of unconsciousness in babies and how to put an unconscious baby into a safe position (the ‘Recovery Position’).
- First aid for choking in the first year of life.
- Fever in children under the age of 1 – what to do, what not to do.
- Recognising meningitis and sepsis and how to respond.
- Febrile seizures – why they can happen and what to do.

This course is delivered both online and face-to-face in one of our training locations throughout Switzerland. Choose which way of learning is most suitable to your needs.
Course fees include a Resuscitation Key Ring per registration, providing quick and easy access to a Resuscitation Face Shield for your protection when providing CPR.
For online courses, fees also include an inflatable Mini Baby Laerdal manikin for participants to use during the training, allowing them to practise skills learnt. This is then theirs to keep.
