First Aid for Carers

First Aid Training for Carers

Having a solid working understanding of first aid in care homes is essential. When deciding on the level of training for your carer, please consult your organisation’s risk assessment. This will ensure your first aid provision is adequate and appropriate to your specific circumstances (Health and Safety Executive).
