As parents, most of us agree we’d do absolutely anything to protect our children and keep them safe. But the reality is, things don’t always go according to plan, and if an emergency situation was to arise do you feel confident that you would know what to do?

Do you know what to do if your baby is choking on a piece of food? What about if your child fell into the pool and wasn’t breathing? What about if they grabbed the hot iron and had burns on their skin? What about if they wake in the middle of the night having seizures or convulsions?

If the answer was no to any of those questions then you need to do a first aid course. Now.

Registered midwife and mother, Edwina Shurrock created Birth Beat, baby and child first aid classes to provide parents, parents-to-be and carers with the knowledge and skills to confidently act in an emergency. 

The customised First Aid classes are run by Paramedics and Emergency Nurses and are designed specifically for parents with babies or young children and cover the most common childhood emergencies, including:

  • CPR

  • Choking 

  • Drowning  

  • Burns & Scalds 

  • Fever & Febrile convulsions 

  • Vomiting & Dehydration 

  • Breathing Illnesses - asthma, allergies, anaphylaxis 

  • Broken Bones & Head injuries  

  • Bites & Stings 

  • Poisons 

Birth Beat courses give you lifetime access to 11 modules of video content covering everything you need to know about providing first aid to a newborn to 8-year old. 

The best part is the course is completely online so you can complete it anywhere, anytime that suits you best, and you can keep referring back to them to refresh your knowledge as many times as you like. 

You will also get access to an incredible group of like minded and supportive parents in the private Birth Beat Facebook page where you can ask questions and have direct access to the Birth Beat team.
