🚨 Getting trained in infant & child first aid
Practise infant first aid with a competent local trainer.
1. What to prepare
Book hands-on infant choking and CPR training; refresh skills and keep local emergency contacts available.
2. What to check
In an emergency call for help, put the phone on speaker and follow the dispatcher. A short online guide is not a substitute for practical training.
3. In Ireland
For a life-threatening medical emergency call 112 or 999. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.
