Could you help if you were first on the scene of an accident? If a child was choking or a colleague injured? What would you do if someone was suffering a stroke or heart attack? Can you use a defibrillator?

Of course, we’d all love to say that we would help without hesitation, but the reality is that most of us wouldn’t know how to, or due to lack of expertise and experience, would be afraid to.

Many people tell us that they lack first aid skills as first aid courses are inaccessible, expensive, or daunting. We overcome the problem of inconvenient dates and venues by providing training at local centres or in-house on mutually convenient dates for any number of people or for individuals. Teaching is done in a fun and relaxed way that puts our students at ease, enhances their learning experience, and improves memory recall.

First Medical Training was founded by Director Christian Smith who wanted to share the life-saving skills he learned as a medic. His drive and passion for teaching then took the company into new fields. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses were introduced for medical and dental teams, dedicated training for nursing and care home staff, specialist courses developed for better understanding of illnesses such as epilepsy and diabetes, and fire safety courses for people in all environments.

Of course, staying true to its roots, the company also trains first aid instructors and qualifies people to become Emergency Medical Technicians.

As a thank you to our customers we run several prize draws and free gift promotions throughout the year.

So, that's a wealth of training and support services for you, from CPD training and first aid training, through medical emergencies training, defibrillator training, CPR training, Emergency First Aid at Work, to support services like audits and personnel cover.
