	Most people, on hearing of such a term as paediatric first aid, may run scurrying for a medical dictionary in order to help understand the term better, provided they need to know. <strong>Paediatrics is the Greek for child healer</strong>, and today the word defines a study of medical care for minors &amp; early adolescence. &nbsp;In America they say pediatrician, and in the British Isles we say paediatrician, which is phonetically similar in pronunciation. A <strong>paediatrician is a medical specialist</strong> who has undertaken extensive medical degree courses. But we don&rsquo;t need to worry about taking degree courses here, as <strong>paediatric first aid</strong> is primarily the concern of child care agents such as qualified care workers, child minders, nannies, teachers or anyone involved in the supervision of children be they new born, infant, or early adolescent. Professionals dealing with this category are expected to know &amp; understand cardio pulmonary resuscitation, first aid &amp; child development. &nbsp;Children have a lot of get up and go, are often spontaneous, and can be oblivious to dangers, so while <strong>paediatric first aid treatment</strong> of a serious nature can be reduced by implementing preventative measures, it&rsquo;s still necessary to be certified in the area of child first aid. Having this qualification will enable you to reduce the seriousness of any accidental injury or incident, until the child gets to the hospital.</p>
