First Aid Training for Care Homes & Domiciliary Care
Care settings work with vulnerable people and carry real first aid risk. We deliver workplace first aid on site at your home, scheduled around residents and shifts.
Care homes and domiciliary care providers support people who are often frail or have complex health needs, so confident first aid cover matters more here than almost anywhere. Alongside the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, the Care Quality Commission expects providers to ensure staff are suitably trained and competent, and good first aid provision forms part of evidencing safe care.
We deliver First Aid at Work and refresher training on site at your home, around resident routines and staff rotas, for up to 12 staff per session. You receive clear certificates and records to support your CQC evidence and your own governance.
Built around residents
We schedule around mealtimes, personal care and shift handovers so resident routines are never disrupted.
CQC-ready records
Every delegate is certified and you receive the documentation to support your training matrix and CQC evidence.
Refreshers and rolling cover
We can set up a rolling schedule so your home always has enough in-date first aiders across day and night shifts.
Recommended courses
Care settings usually need First Aid at Work (FAW) for nominated first aiders, with enough trained staff to maintain cover across shifts. Note that first aid training does not replace clinical or medicines training, which is separate.

Care homes first aid training: common questions
What first aid training does a care home need?
Most care homes need nominated first aiders qualified in First Aid at Work (FAW), with enough trained staff to cover every shift. Your first aid needs assessment sets the exact numbers based on your home's size and layout.
Can you train around our shifts?
Yes. We routinely run sessions that fit day and night rotas and handovers so resident care and staffing levels are not affected.
Does first aid training cover medication or clinical tasks?
No. First aid training covers emergency response, not clinical care or medicines administration, which require separate, specialist training. We can focus the session on the emergencies most relevant to a care setting.
Will the records support our CQC evidence?
Yes. You receive certificates and a clear record for every delegate, which you can add to your training matrix and use as part of your CQC evidence.
