Why is it so darn difficult to find a first aid course in the UK? I'm really desperate to do a first aid course for parents. My son's at that age where he's constantly getting into scrapes and situations and I'm panicking that one day he's going to come to some real harm, and I wouldn't know how to do the Heimlich manouvre or CPR if you paid me. I've read plenty of instructions on the internet but I still don't feel comfortable that I'd know how to do it all. I've been back and forth looking at courses. Emailed my local colleges - all their courses are discontinued. Emailed St. John's Ambulance - no reply, and I've searched in all manner of ways for the parent first aid courses they *say* they offer, and it brings up no results, the only thing I can find is a paediatric first aid course for training professionals and that costs about £100 which I cannot afford and probably couldn't get on to anyway considering I don't work with children, I just, God forbid, raise one! I've also tried contacting local hospitals and they told me to try St. John's Ambulance argh. Don't you think it should be something that's more easily accessible to parents!? I don't feel like I should have to hunt around, let alone come to dead ends, for something so basic. Considering the amount of useless pamphlets we parents get through the post for nothing and everything, surely this should be something we are offered. Has anyone else had this trouble, and did you find a solution?!
