Confident Parent First Aid Classes
Know exactly what to do in an emergency—without panic
Why should you take a first aid class?
As a new parent keeping your baby safe can feel like a huge, frightening and overwhelming responsibility. One of the best investments you can make to ease that sense of fear is to attend a first aid course. By learning simple first aid principles and skills which you can apply calmly and competently, should you ever need to, will ease that sense of fear and boost your confidence!.
You can’t wrap your child up in cotton wool to keep them safe. Babies and children get sick, accidents happen, despite your best efforts. So. It’s best to be prepared!
About Kate
Hi,
Before coming to Belgium I was a qualified nurse with 25 years practical experience and a Master of Studies in Primary and Community Care from Cambridge University. I completed the Rode Kruis Vlaanderen Brevet Eerste Hulp (Basiscursus) and Brevet Helper (Vervolgcursus) in March 2015. Then through Aid Training and Operations Ltd in the UK completed a First Aid Instructors Course. I teach in line with the requirements of the UK Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 with the content delivered in line with the Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines 2025.
I am passionate about supporting women to have the best birth experience for them and their baby. As a Childbirth Educator and Hypnobirthing Teacher I offer Hypnobirthing courses as SIMPLY HYPNOBIRTH and as well as more conventional childbirth education courses.
I am the owner of www.pregnantinbelgium.com All the information and resources you need all in one place with clear insights into the Belgian healthcare system, from selecting the ideal place to birth your baby to understanding your rights. And, demystifying the complexities of Belgian admin with health insurance and social security.
I look forward to meeting at a class soon
