Our tailored first aid training is aimed at meeting the needs of organisations who have specific risk areas that need to be provided for within their workforce.

Delegates are reminded however that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) strongly recommend that all first aiders undergo an annual refresher programme of at least three hours.
