First aid to suit you

Several people practise tilting their partners' heads back to open the airwayOur first aid courses are designed to be accessible to a broad audience, but some groups of people may benefit from a more personal touch.

For example, a group may want to learn at a different pace – or perhaps concentrate on particular first aid situations. In such cases, we can offer customised courses that focus on their individual needs. Those we regularly help include:

  • People with disabilities / learning difficulties

  • Sports groups

  • School or youth groups

  • Rurally isolated groups

  • Groups with specific cultural / religious needs

We believe everyone should have an opportunity to learn first aid skills in the way that’s most relevant to them – so whatever your group’s particular needs, our expert trainers will find a way to ensure you get all the learning you need in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We can even come to your venue, if that helps.

For further information, get in touch with your local Red Cross branch office, which can be found using our postcode search.
