Welcome to UK’s largest first aid conference & exhibition

15th March 2008 Manchester UMIST


The FIRST AID FORWARD 2008 Conference brings eminent keynote speakers to present highly relevant and up to date topics in the field of first aid and related issues.

This conference is especially important in light of possible medical changes in first aid and the HSE changes in the requirements for first aid in the workplace and first aid training.

By attending this unique event, you will gain an invaluable insight into the important issues facing first aid for today and in the future.

This Conference is produced to:

  • To Keep delegates up-to date with first aid practices.
  • Maximise the effectiveness of first aid treatment.
  • Maximise first aid provision and understand first aid training requirements.
  • Assist you in your professional development*

In addition there are social networking events for delegates to meet and discuss issues with like minded people.

* A Certificate of Attendance is issued to all delegates that can be used towards an NVQ qualification and to demonstrate 'Continued Professional Development' (CPD).


Is it for me? … Yes!
There is a first aid responsibility in all workplaces and establishments. The FIRST AID FORWARD 2008 Conference addresses this wide audience including all levels of First Aiders, people involved with first aid, trainers, people seeking training, occupational health staff, care staff, managers, directors, government services and members of the voluntary organisations, etc.

The HSE has recently announced changes to first aid and first aid training. This has a substantial impact on training that will effect your business. Be prepared and informed on these important issues. This is just one of many highly important issues that will be covered at UK's leading conference; FIRST AID FORWARD 2008.

If you are involved in training or training provision, this is just one of many subjects you just cannot afford to miss.
