Join us on the 21st of August at the Aberdeen Northern Hotel for Emergency First Aid at Work (With Profound and Multiple Disabilities Specific Information)

This is a one day course.

The course is the accredited Emergency First Aid at Work course, and as such stands on it's own. The PMLD element comes into adapting first aid to the particular needs of people who have a PMLD, so we pay additional regard to CPR when someone has a compromised body shape, epilepsy management, postural care, and airway management.
