First Aid for babies & toddlers

How to help a baby or small child in an emergency! Prevent most accidents in daily life - and be prepared for those, that happen anyway.

The instructor uses her experience and knowledge as a health professional to teach you selected theory themes.
We spend plenty of time practicing in small groups, using special Junior & Baby CPR manikins. You learn with your body - not only with your ears.
