Why doctor-led training matters

First Aid Doctor was founded by Dr Saúl Díaz, an Emergency Department doctor with extensive experience managing medical emergencies, serious injuries and critically unwell patients — from minor injuries and allergic reactions to cardiac arrests and major trauma, across patients of every age.

Dr. Saúl Díaz

That clinical background shapes every course we run. Rather than training people to simply pass an assessment, we focus on what actually matters in a real emergency: recognising what’s happening, knowing what to do, and understanding when to seek further medical help.
Based in Bedfordshire, we deliver doctor-led training across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes — for businesses, schools, nurseries, healthcare providers, dental practices, community organisations, and parents and carers.

This was an excellent course, delivered in a relaxed but informative way. I learned a lot and also refreshed my knowledge on many aspects of Emergency First Aid. I especially found the practical exercises really helpful - as well as the chance to ask loads of questions! Saul clearly has so much experience in his field and shared his knowledge with us brilliantly, making us all feel comfortable and engaged throughout. Thanks Saul for giving me renewed confidence in my emergency first aid skills. I would highly recommend this course!

I’ve had a wonderful day learning how to save someone’s life if needs be. A course full of useful information and practical skills. I strongly advise it to everyone, never know what’s around the corner. Good social skills from the host who kept it interesting all the way through and made me feel prepared for a future situation.
