The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course adapted for Sports is a one day course covering care of the unconscious casualty as well as commonly occurring injuries in adults and children. During the course, you will not only learn basic emergency first aid, but also first aid specific to exercise and sports.

Our course uniquely adds in additional areas to the EFAW syllabus and covers heart attacks, head and spinal injuries as well as asthma and other elements of First Aid crucial to sports. We are also able to adapt our courses to specific requests if you have anything additional that you need to cover.

You can book a bespoke course at your workplace or home, or you can book a place on one of our scheduled courses which are held at our company headquarters in Balham.

 

Just to say thank you for yesterday’s course.  I appreciated you making the time to answer all my questions and found the format and location very user friendly.  You fitted in a lot of very useful information in a short amount of time, helping to both refresh and update my first aid knowledge. An invaluable course both in respect to teaching a contact sport as well as being a mother of a boisterous, tree climbing boy!
