Useful tool

First Aid Needs Calculator

Qualsafe Awards provide a free online calculator that helps you work out the level of first aid provision your workplace needs, in line with current Health and Safety Executive guidance. It is worth completing before you get in touch, so you have a clearer idea of what to ask for.

Healthcare teams

Practices need training that reflects the emergencies their teams may face: collapse in reception, anaphylaxis after an injection, a patient deteriorating mid-appointment. There is a dedicated page covering how sessions are built for primary care and dental teams.
