About this course
The Emergency Paediatric First Aid (EPFA) course provides focused emergency first aid training for situations involving infants and children. It is a shorter alternative to the full two-day Paediatric First Aid qualification and is suitable for settings where a shorter qualification meets regulatory requirements.
