Unlock the power to make a difference with our specialised Disability First Aid course! This course goes beyond traditional first aid training. Designed for everyone eager to equip themselves with essential skills for assisting individuals with disabilities during emergencies, this course fills a crucial gap. While standard first aid training offers valuable skills, it often overlooks the unique challenges faced by people with disabilities.

  • CPR in a bed  
  • Recognition and assistance for Autonomic Dysreflexia  
  • Choking in a bed 
  • Consent and communication in a disability setting
  • Choking in a wheelchair
  • Pressure sores and infection signs
  • How to use a bag valve mask (BVM) during CPR
  • Recognising and responding to depression and suicide warning signs in a disability setting
