National Schools' First Aid Competition 2012

The National Schools' First Aid Competition provides the perfect opportunity for your students to cement their first aid knowledge. By demonstrating their skills along with their peers in realistic scenarios, children develop the confidence to save a life and have fun at the same time.

The competition is free to enter and open to schools across the country. Teams of four students (plus one optional reserve) take part in regional heats with successful participants going on to battle it out at the national final, held at London's Natural History Museum on 27 June 2012. It's a day that students will never forget - and winners take home a £1,000 prize for their school.

Registering teams (junior team aged 7 - 11 and senior teams aged 11 - 15) is easy. For more details, including some important changes to the competition for 2012, please visit our Teach the difference website to download the handbook and entry form. Registration closes on 24 February 2012. Early registration is recommended as places in the regional heats go fast.

The competition tests 25 key first aid skills from our Young first aider pack, our interactive and teaching resource which can be ordered through our St John Ambulance Supplies website.
