First aid for babies & toddlers supported by TrygFonden

Prevent most accidents in daily life - and be prepared for those, that happen anyway.

The instructor uses her experience and knowledge as a health professional to teach you selected theory themes. We spend plenty of time practicing in small groups, using special Junior & Baby CPR manikins.

You learn with your body - not only with your ears. All participants/couples will get a first aid book (English).
