Real Emergency Scenarios You'll Be Prepared For
Peter's Insight: Common Childcare Emergencies
"In my 40+ years of emergency response, I've seen how quickly situations can escalate with children. The difference between panic and effective response is proper training. Here are the scenarios we prepare you for:"
🍎 Allergic Reactions & Anaphylaxis
Learn to recognize early signs, when and how to use an EpiPen, and proper emergency service coordination. Critical for protecting children with food allergies.
💨 Asthma Emergencies
Understand triggers, proper inhaler technique, when to call ambulances, and how to keep children calm during breathing difficulties.
🫁 Choking Incidents
Master age-specific techniques for infants, toddlers, and older children. Learn when back blows work versus abdominal thrusts.
🩹 Playground Injuries
Handle cuts, bruises, suspected fractures, and head injuries with confidence. Know when injuries require immediate medical attention.
"The techniques you learn aren't just for work - they'll give you confidence to protect any child in your care, including your own family." - Peter McGreal
