A high risk setting, for example a nursery with children that have medical conditions, your staff may need to take the 12 hour Paediatric First Aid (PFA) qualification.
The 12 hour course now available as a Blended course. This is a E learning package that takes 6 hours to finish, followed by a 6 hour taught session with a trainer.
The type of PFA course your workplace will need is dependant on your First Aid Needs Risk Assessment.
