First aid training for care homes
Specialist on-site first aid training for care homes and residential settings — delivered around your rotas, with cover for every shift.
First aid in care and residential settings
Care homes carry a distinctive mix of first aid risks — an older, often frail population, complex medical conditions, falls, choking and cardiac events among them. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) expects providers to ensure staff are suitably trained to keep residents safe, and adequate first aid cover is a core part of meeting that duty of care.
Because care operates around the clock, training that pulls staff off-site is rarely practical. Our trainers come to you and work around your rota, delivering sessions across shifts so you can maintain qualified first aid cover at all times without disrupting resident care.
Cover for every shift
- Training scheduled across day, night and weekend shifts
- Qualified first aid cover maintained at all times

Frequently asked questions
Can you train across night and weekend shifts?
Yes. We regularly deliver across day, night and weekend shifts, and can run consecutive sessions so every shift has trained first aid cover.
Do care staff need FAW or EFAW?
This depends on your risk assessment. Many care homes opt for the fuller FAW for designated first aiders, with EFAW for wider staff. We can advise on the right mix for your setting.
Can you help us keep cover as certificates expire?
Yes — we can set up a rolling schedule so certificates are renewed before they lapse and you never fall below the cover you need.
