I think it imperative as a carer of children that I stay up to date with the latest techniques (eg: CPR steps have changed since 2006), and gain knowledge about other important issues re caring for children.
I have completed the following 3 courses in 2008.

Intensive 2 day course covering many illnesses and accidents,
and how to treat them/what action to take
CPR and recovery position
Theory and practical exam
Fire Safety Awareness

How to use a fire blanket
How to treat burns
How to handle an emergency
Theory and practical
Child Health Matters
Common accidents for 0-5s
Food hygiene (preparation and cooking)
Sun smart
Common childhood illnesses
Immunisations
Reducing the risk of cot death
In 2007 I did the following courses:
