Paediatric First Aid

She was really a good trainer who clarified all things nicely

TQUK Paediatric First Aid

Vicky was knowledgable and confident throughout, she ensured everyone was understanding the content and gave us time to process what we were learning. This was by far the best first aid course I have attended, and I have attended a few! I learnt new things from Vicky and will be sharing that with my team.
