Parents and children in Preston can learn lifesaving baby first aid skills which could make all the difference in an emergency, thanks to an NCT Baby First Aid course.
NCT, the national charity for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, has partnered with Mini First Aid to deliver two-hour Baby & Child First Aid classes which cover CPR, choking, bumps, burns, breaks, bleeding, febrile seizures and meningitis and sepsis awareness.
The children’s classes aimed at ages 3 – 14 years are tailored to each age group and are designed to encourage children to think about the actions they would take in an emergency if no adults were present.
The class also covers topics like what to do in the event of choking, bleeding, bumps, breaks and burns and more.
The course will be held at Galloways, Howick House, Penwortham, Preston, PR1 0LS this Saturday. Adult sessions will take place from 10am-12pm. Sessions for children aged 3-6 years will take place from 12.00pm-12:30pm, and children aged 7-12 years, 12:30pm-2:00pm.
Anna Sky Hulton, branch coordinator at NCT Preston, said: “It’s very common for parents to worry about being faced with a baby first aid emergency. Our interactive courses equip new parents with practical skills so they feel confident to care for their baby in an emergency situation.
“Learning just a few basics kills can make a life changing difference to the safety of your baby.”
Courses start from £25 for adults and £8 for children and there are discount rates available for those eligible.
