Standard first aid courses don't cover the realities of a busy pub, nightclub, or hospitality venue. Our venue-specific training does - covering the scenarios your staff will actually face.

Varied course lengthsthe reality of venue first aid
First aid in a busy venue is different - your training should be too
Managing a medical situation in a crowded, loud, low-lit environment - often involving alcohol or drugs - is very different from a standard workplace scenario. Your staff need training that prepares them for what they'll actually face on a Friday night, not just what's in a textbook.
- Alcohol-related incidents require specific management approaches not covered in standard courses
- Drug interactions and overdoses are an increasing challenge for licensed premises
- Crowd management during a medical emergency is a real and specific skill
- Door supervisors are typically first on scene and need the right clinical response skills
- SIA-licensed door staff have distinct training requirements
- Licensing reviews increasingly scrutinise staff first aid training records
