where do I learn first aid for babies/children?

[poppy34]

it occured to me that I'm complete numpty about this - any suggsetions as to where /how I can learn (ideally a course)? there don't seem to be any red cross ones on locally any time soon.

I did one at my local Children's Centre - can you ask there?

Ask your HV, if you're in touch. They sometimes organise them if there's enough interest. Or your local hospital?

[sheilatakeabow]

Your local children's centre should do them

[Icanseethesea]

Try your local St John Ambulance unit, they may be able to help.

Yes - www.littlelives.uk.com.

The lady who runs this is called Christine and she is a paediatric nurse (and mother).
She is based near Brighton, but may have people available elsewhere for courses.

Can you not go to the HV clinic and ask? The ones here that the HV refers you to are run by the hospital and they are free.
