Course review by Sally Harrison, Director, Best Bear
I recently attended one of these classes. After two hours of instruction which included practical and hands-on experience with dollies, we were encouraged to practice again and again. By the end of the session we all felt very confident that we would be able to cope if something went wrong. We took away useful and clear notes to remind us about everything we had covered during the training session. I would definitely recommend the course to others.

Paediatric Basic Life Support and Paediatric Choking - Review of Course

The first thing that I liked about this course was that it was run by someone who actually works in a hospital, so you felt confident that they know exactly what they are doing, and could pass this information on to me with assurance.
There were quite a few of us attending the course but we were all able to have a go at practicing DR ABC on the dollies.  Personally I would have liked to have had more goes at practicing - that is just my preference – but I certainly learnt the techniques that I will be able to remember.    It is two hours of your time but something that I would really encourage everyone to do and would certainly recommend this course to anyone.
Sally Harrison, Director Best Bear Childcare
