Thank you Gerry for coming out to Pearse Street Physio for the first aid responder course (refresher for some, first time for others.) In the far training we covered first aid, CPR/AED Training and medical emergencies. Both informative and fun, we would definitely recommend first aid courses Dublin and use them again.

Great feedback from all our senior staff here at our South Dublin Child Centre, we were very impressed with the practical demonstrations during our first responder training and the attention to detail of the typical medical emergencies demonstrated over the three days. Audrey has a great presence for teaching and I was delighted to attend all the sessions.
