Malta Red Cross

A ten hour course where participants are trained in essential first aid skills that could prove vital when faced with a medical emergency. Through theoretical sessions, discussions, demonstrations, and scenarios, the participants will cover a myriad of topics related to illness and traumatic incidents. This course is aimed at anyone aged over 14 who wants to be prepared and trained in what to do when dealing with a casualty in an out-of-hospital setting. This course also meets the requirements as an extra accreditation for university students.

Those who would like to include Paediatrics and learn how to deal with emergencies concerning babies & toddlers, may book for the Paediatric 'add on' course, or do the Adult & Child course which combines both instead.
