Remote First Aid

Course overview

This is a practical course run over two days in the woodlands and hills of the south coast, scenario based using practical skills and real medical equipment carried by professionals.

The two day course draws on evidence based medicine that is unlike that used in the built up environment of cities and towns and follows on naturally from most first aid courses using DR(C)ABCDE and MARCH to assess and treat casualties. This is a course for those wanting to up skill and/or work in remote or offshore areas where help is not close by and the nearest hospital is a long drive or a helicopter away.
