Outdoor First Aid Course Options
One of the biggest issues we face in the outdoors or in a remote area is the potential for an incident requiring medical attention. Assistance could be hours away or not able to get to you at all. This course is action-packed and will give you confidence to look after a patient (or patients) for a longer period of time (2-12 hours). It covers elements you won't find in a standard Workplace First Aid Course like patient care, toileting, contacting emergency services and group management. Choose the option that is right for you.
