Emergency Outdoor First Aid

Emergency Outdoor First Aid (One Day 6 -8 hours)

This course is the same as the above with the same basic content, where it differs is in the emphasis placed on the outdoor situations where the incident is more likely to occur.  This means this is the ideal short course for those working or pursuing outdoor hobbies, walking, horse-riding, golf etc or those working in outdoor locations a short way from a central office or base, but where help is however likely to be available by shouting, telephone or radio, such as garden centres, leisure parks, farms etc.

The various complications that occur in the outdoors are considered in the practice sessions, taking account of the influence of the terrain and the weather.  These two things can make a significant difference to our care of injured or ill people in a first aid situation. This course is also delivered in 6 - 8 hours.

The course content includes:

• Dealing with incidents safely

• A systematic approach to incident management

• Collapse - causes and treatment

• External and internal bleeding

• Resuscitation procedures

• Choking

• Specific site issues, weather and terrain
