First Aid at Work (FAW) Refresher

Having First Aid trained Personnel at the workplace is a requirement of Health and Safety Law. First Aiders knowledge and skill can prevent situations from developing and resulting in further medical complications.

ABC Paramedic Services and First Aid Training can offer you the HSE approved and accredited First Aid at Work Refresher training course.

This course, tailored to suit the audience, includes both theoretical knowledge and practical sessions, delivered in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The course is designed to have everyone participating and enjoying themselves, but most importantly, to provide students with the confidence to cope with real life medical emergency situations.
