Outdoor First Aid
 Our Outdoor First Aid courses are suitable for all outdoor activities whether recreational or work related. Certificates are valid for three years and fulfil the needs of all the outdoor national governing bodies for their instructor awards, such as ML, SPA, RYA, BELA.The outdoor environment nearly always means that the casualty has to be looked after for a longer time scale than is typical in an urban setting. From a walk in the hills when you are hours away from help, to out on expedition when help is days away all our outdoor and expedition courses look at how to manage the situation and the casualty appropriately.All our trainers are fully at home in the outdoors and understand the issues, dilemmas and judgments required when dealing with incidents in potentially hostile remote environments. We follow Health and Safety approved code of practice guidelines and hands-on training is the hallmark of these coursesThe RGS Expedition Medicine Handbook states: It has been shown that people trained in first aid are more safety conscious and have fewer accidents than untrained people.In addition to these courses we also research, design and tailor courses for every activity or interest. If you are interested in having a custom designed course to suit you or your group, delivered at any location please contact us with your requirements.
