Our Life Skills Courses are a perfect way for young people to learn about a variety of key health topics and how to deal with them. These courses will be bespoke to your school and tailored to meet the academic needs of your students, at both primary and secondary schools.

Overview

All of our courses use real world examples and cases that occur within the community, providing students with practical examples that they can relate to. We deliver in a wide variety of teaching formats depending on your needs, such as case based discussions, skills stations, lecture based delivery or virtual delivery depending on what you feel works best for your students. All content can be tailored to suit different ages, learning types and backgrounds.

Our courses are all delivered by tutors who are medically trained, either as a nurse or doctor, and they all work within the Emergency Department at the Queen's Medical Centre.

This means you can be safe in the knowledge they are teaching the most up to date methods, and that your students will be taught in a sensitive and appropriate way, no matter how complex the subject.
