An online first aid course unlike any other
First Aid in the Clinic
An essential first aid course for osteopaths, chiropractors, and all manual therapists, focused on recognising and managing medical emergencies that may arise in a clinical practice setting.
Course Overview
Why This Course Is For You
A first aid emergency can occur at any time. And it’s more likely in your clinic, because you actively invite people with problems in to see you. And there’s no guarantee that the problem is what they think it is.
First Aid Is An Essential
First aid skills are a fundamental expectation in modern healthcare. Patients, the public, and regulators all need reassurance that you and your team can respond effectively to potentially life-threatening emergencies when they arise.
This is not like other first aid training. Firstly, it's taught by APM's two fantastic instructors, Steven Bruce and Malcolm Parnell. Secondly, unlike other online courses, this one is live and supervised. We also send you all the equipment you need in order to meet the goals of clinic first aid - that means you get better training! (and a Learning with Others CPD certificate).
The course is engaging, highly practical, and taught in a small group to ensure close supervision and confidence-building. You’ll leave with an HSE-recognised Emergency First Aid at Work certificate, valid for three years, and the assurance that you’re prepared when it matters most.
Improved confidence in managing on-site emergencies
Faster clinical decision-making under pressure
Reduced clinical and professional risk
A safer, more prepared clinic environment
Learn From Home
This is not like other first aid training.
Unlike other online courses, this one is LIVE and SUPERVISED. We also send you the equipment you need in order to meet all the goals of clinic first aid - that means you get better training! (and a "Learning with Others" CPD certificate).
Class size is limited to 30, so that you get optimum supervision, all of which is achieved through the live video link.
Details
To issue your certificate, we have to assess you as competent in the key skills.
To that end, for a short period, YOU WILL NEED ANOTHER PERSON PRESENT in order to practise the recovery position.
An older child will do, but infants, toddlers, teddy bears and pets are not a suitable alternative!
Your volunteer will be needed between 12:00 and 12:30.
Who Should Attend?
This course is suitable for osteopaths, chiropractors, physiotherapists, clinic staff, and members of the public who want to develop the confidence, knowledge, and practical skills needed to respond effectively to medical emergencies.
While it is open to anyone with an interest in first aid, the content is especially relevant to situations that may arise in and around healthcare and clinic environments.
Your Instructors
Steven Bruce & Malcolm Parnell
First off, there are two instructors—which means two perspectives, two voices, and very much double the humour. That alone makes the day more engaging, more interactive, and a lot more enjoyable than your average first aid course. You’ll be taught by people who are genuinely comfortable on their feet and know how to keep energy levels up without losing focus on what really matters.
One instructor is a former Marine who went on to become an osteopath; the other is a former paramedic who has dealt with real emergencies in the real world. Between them, they’ve seen what works, what doesn’t, and what should never be done. Neither has any interest in teaching first aid 'by the book' alone - everything is put into real-world context, explained clearly, and stress-tested against reality. First aid myths are identified, challenged, and, where necessary, cold-bloodedly slaughtered (the Marine insists on handling that part).
