Workshop: First Aid for infants & children
During this Workshop we will discuss the most common accidents and emergencies that occur with infants and children. Participants get hands-on practice on topics including cuts and bruises, burns, choking, head bumps, nose bleeds, febrile seizures, and more. We will also discuss the emergency medical services in Amstelveen and participants can practice CPR with infant- and child-sized CPR mannequins.
This Workshop is perfect for parents of infants and small children, expectant parents, grandparents/aunties/uncles of infants, and other adults who are often around infants and young children.
The goal of this Workshop is to prepare participants with knowledge and skills so they feel more confident when responding to an accident or emergency.

Workshop vs Course
Healthy Here NL offers First Aid Workshops as well as First Aid and CPR/AED Courses. Both Workshops and Courses include time for hands-on practice, discussing minor and serious first aid scenarios, and information on local medical emergency services.
Here’s what we mean by “Workshop” and “Course”:
Workshop: all information is shared and learning completed during the Workshop with hands-on practice, examples from real life scenarios, and time for Q&A. Workshops are generally shorter (2-4 hours) than Courses. Workshops do not result in a nationally/internationally recognized certificate for the participant.
Course: most of the background and theoretical learning takes place at home, before the in-person class. This preparation is done via e-learning (NIKTA) or book reading (EFR) and takes 6-8 hours to complete. Next, during the full-day, in-person class, participants review what they learned and practice their First Aid and CPR skills through role-play and scenarios. Participants then demonstrate the skills they have learned (wound care, preforming chest compression, etc.). After completing the pre-learning, test, and in-person practical day, participants are eligible to receive certification in First Aid and CPR/AED (from EFR or NIKTA).
A First Aid and CPR/AED Course therefore takes more time (6-8 hours prep time + 8 hours in-class practical time) and costs more (the registration fee pays for the e-learning or book, the certification from the certifying agency, and for the full-day practical class) than a Workshop.
