JWC First Aid

Our practical, hands-on courses are delivered by experienced UK firefighters and cover key topics such as fire risk awareness, safe evacuation procedures, and the correct use of fire extinguishers. Designed for both clinical and non-clinical staff, our training ensures your team is prepared to respond effectively in the event of a fire, helping you meet regulatory requirements and protect the safety of staff and patients.

Ensure Compliance and Safety in Your Workplace

At JWC First Aid, we understand that healthcare environments such as GP surgeries, Minor Injury Units (MIUs), community clinics, and hospital departments face unique fire risks. These settings often involve vulnerable patients, medical gases, complex electrical equipment, and a variety of staff roles. That’s why fire safety training is essential, not just for meeting regulations, but to ensure your team is prepared to act confidently and safely in the event of a fire.

Our Fire Safety Training for healthcare, construction, factories and warehouse environments goes beyond theory. We focus on providing practical, hands-on training that empowers staff to recognise fire risks, respond quickly, and manage the early stages of a fire. Our approach ensures staff are well-prepared to follow local fire procedures and maintain safety at all times.

Why Fire Safety Training is Crucial in Healthcare Environments

Healthcare settings are complex, and they present specific fire hazards. From patients with limited mobility to the use of medical gases and a range of electrical equipment, it’s essential that your team knows how to prevent fires and respond effectively if one occurs.

The safety of your staff and patients relies on everyone knowing their roles and responsibilities in the event of a fire. With tailored fire safety training, your team will have the confidence and skills needed to handle fire risks safely, while maintaining compliance with legal requirements.

Fully CQC-Compliant Fire Safety Training

Our Fire Safety Training course is fully compliant with Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards, helping your healthcare setting meet essential staff training, fire safety, and competency requirements. This is crucial for ensuring your workplace is always up to date with regulations, while also protecting the safety of your team and patients.

Additionally, for organisations requiring accredited fire safety qualifications, we offer the option of certification through an approved awarding body. This can be provided upon request to further support your organisation’s training needs.

Hands-On and Practical Fire Safety Training

We believe in making fire safety training both practical and engaging. Our course isn’t just about learning the theory behind fire safety; it’s about developing the confidence to act quickly and safely when needed.

Delivered by experienced, currently serving UK firefighters with hands-on knowledge of healthcare and public-sector environments, our course covers everything your team needs to know about fire safety in healthcare settings. It is aligned with UK fire safety legislation, NHS fire safety expectations, and local Trust fire policies.

What’s covered in the course:

• Fire Risk Awareness: Understanding the specific fire hazards in healthcare settings.
• Causes of Fire: Identifying common fire risks in clinical and non-clinical areas.
• Roles and Responsibilities: Clear guidance on staff roles during a fire emergency.
• Local Fire Procedures: Learning how to evacuate safely, including considerations for patients.
• Safe Use of Fire Extinguishers: Practical, hands-on training on how to use fire extinguishers confidently.

Our scenario-based learning ensures that staff will be well-prepared to respond appropriately in a variety of settings and industries, such as GP surgeries, MIUs, wards, and outpatient clinics.

Tailored Training for Clinical and Non-Clinical Staff

We recognise that different staff members have different roles when it comes to fire safety. To make the training as relevant as possible, we can deliver sessions to:

• Mixed groups of clinical and non-clinical staff, or
• Separate groups, such as having administrative staff in one session and clinical staff in another.

This ensures that everyone gets the training most relevant to their responsibilities, while maintaining a consistent standard of fire safety awareness across your entire team.

Our Fire Safety Training is designed to be efficient and informative, typically lasting between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the group and specific local requirements. The cost for the course is £395.00 for up to 12 learners, and it can be delivered on-site at your location.
