Our **non-accredited** Seniors First Aid course is designed specifically for mature individuals and their caregivers. We understand that performing CPR on the floor can be challenging for seniors, often making standard CPR certification courses inaccessible.
This informative and engaging session addresses the unique first aid needs of seniors, focusing on practical techniques that accommodate physical limitations. Our **first aid for the elderly** course will demonstrate modified CPR methods that can be performed without requiring participants to be on the floor, empowering them to respond effectively in emergency situations.
This course will equip you with the confidence and skills to take control and provide assistance until paramedics arrive.
