Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)
This one-day course is ideal for lower-risk workplaces where staff still need essential first aid skills. It covers everything required to meet HSE guidelines and ensures your team is confident handling the most common medical emergencies.
The 6-hour session includes hands-on training in CPR and how to use an AED (defibrillator), and is led by our experienced team of NHS-trained doctors, nurses, and paramedics. Training can take place at your workplace or any location that suits you.
Engaging, practical, and focused on real-world situations—this course gives your team the confidence to act when it counts.
