Mini Medics is a non-regulated course offered by NUCO and is a basic introduction to First Aid and Defibrillation aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 11, but it can suit children of any age. It is perfect for schools and after-school clubs, but also any group of children who would like to learn essential lifesaving skills to be able to help those around them.

The course is kept at a basic level with no use of confusing terminologies and shows complete respect for the child’s ability. It is an extremely practical and fun course, whilst at the same time being educational. The 3-hour course can be completed over several sessions to maintain a child’s focus and attention. Each child will receive a certificate, a Mini Medics book, and a pen.

• What is First Aid?

• Choking
• Resuscitation (CPR)
• DR ABC
• Wounds and bleeding
• Asthma

A maximum of 16 children can be accommodated on this course.
