I'm a "new" mum and need to find 4 others (to make up group of 8) to take part in first aid course, it comes highly recommended from my other mums friends, some are on this forum, others from NCT etc. You learn CPR with baby and toddler dummys to practice on, Choking, burns advice etc. I know I would feel a lot more confident if I had some training on what to so in these situations! If you are interested, please reply to this thread or PM me. Here are some more details...

Date: Wed 5th May

Time: 7.30-10.30

Location: The Rye Hotel, Peckham (in the marquee are at the back)

Cost: ?45 per person

...blimey - that packs alot into 3hrs (esp with such a big group). I teach for The Parent Company and we split basic life support/choking/recovery position and Accidents and Illness into 2 separate classes of 2hrs each and still find there's lots to pack into the time (especially giving all participants chance to practice the BLS/choking on baby and child size mannequins
Some mums I know looked at The Parent Company but although I'm sure they are very good they are more money and ?45 was what everyone seemed happy to pay. At least these mums got some advice and so are better prepared having done the course than not and (should heaven forbid) they ever find themselves needing to use the advice!

Am not criticising the want to do first aid training (as a nurse I am well aware how few do have training and how important it is). I was purely expressing concern that the curriculum for a 3hr class seemed alot and that I was unsure how much practice of the most important skills (the BLS and choking) would be offered to the parents attending.

Hi All,


I've had quite a lot of interest!! I'm going to give London Ambulance a call tomorrow and try and get a date set that suits the first 6 people that contacted me. I'll also enquire about maximum numbers and I'll let you know missse22 and candp. Hopefully we can squeeze you in too. I'll let you all know how I get on.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
