PLACES are still available for a first-aid session aimed at giving parents the skills that could save their child’s life.

The one-day course will take place on Saturday at the Marriott Hotel, in Tadcaster Road, York, from 9.30am to 4.30pm and will be delivered by a qualified instructor from the Tadcaster-based company First Rescue.

The cost is £30 and all profits will go to the Guardian Angels children’s high dependency unit at York Hospital.

The six-hour session will include training on cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), allergic reactions, bleeding and shock, choking, meningitis, poisoning, bites and stings, burns, minor head injuries and basic treatment of fractures.

It has been organised by York adventurer Andy Shield who has recently returned home after reaching the 5,895-metre summit of Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain.

To book your place, phone Andy on 01904 553017.
