Emergency First Aid & Red Flag Symptoms Course

Prepare for emergencies with this HSE-approved first aid course. This 1 day course also covers recognising red flag symptoms.

Course Overview

EFAW First Aid Training (accredited and HSE approved syllabus)

Would you know what to do if someone in your treatment room became unwell, fell, and sustained a head injury? What if someone had a diabetic coma? Would you be able to recognise hypoglycaemia and help them?

We recommend that all therapists consider best practice and equip themselves with the skills required to deal with a sudden emergency, such as those mentioned above.

This one day accredited First Aid Course is delivered with the Massage therapist, Reflexologist and other complementary professionals in mind.

As a first step towards saving a life – it may prove useful for any member of the general public also.

In times of change where standards in first aid are largely unregulated, the need for a professional first aid qualification to comply with statutory requirements is paramount.

This course is comprehensive, follows government recommended industry standards, as laid down by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) syllabus and certificates are issued by a First Aid Industry Professional Association who adhere to these requirements.

Qualification gained: Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate (EFAW) and discovery session for ‘Red Flag’ symptoms, which will enable therapists to feel more confident in recognising any significant signs and symptoms.

This 6.5-hour course fulfils all these requirements and learners will leave with the confidence to deal with emergency life threatening situations in a competent way.

Arianna Andreuzzi
I want to thank Marc Innes and the school for an amazing course. I have attended the First Aid (and red flags for therapists) course in May. The course was a perfect balance of interesting theory and precious practice. Marc is kind, very knowledgeable and a great communicator. I have very much enjoyed the day and left feeling that I have learned a lot. I will definitely considering attending other courses and keep learning at this school. Thanks again, Arianna
Nikkita
Once again very happy with the training and teaching from yet another course at SNT. This time had the pleasure to meet Marc (the creator of SNT) and thank you so much for running this course with the crazy start of year you had. The commitment and knowledge provided in addition to plenty of time to put into practice what you’ve learned with practical work. It was fun, relaxed and highly informative as always!
Dora
I have truly enjoyed the First Aid course as Marc made the procedures easy to follow and we practised surveying the scene and prioritising treatment & CPR. The course gave me confidence to be a rescuer. I strongly recommend this course for everyone!
