This One Day (8 Hour) Outdoor First Aid course teaches you everything you’ll need to know to deal with first aid emergencies and outdoor emergencies that you may face away from the classroom or office.
You will cover the syllabus of the nationally recognised Emergency First Aid at Work course, as well as a comprehensive outdoor syllabus so you know you’re learning useful skills.
You can expect to learn:
- A simple, memorable routine for dealing with incidents: the ABCs of first aid.
- Treatment of an unconscious casualty.
- CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
- Dealing with bleeding and broken bones.
- Common medical emergencies like asthma, heart attack and drowning.
- Casualty handling, protecting the spine, and the recovery position
- Additional problems in treating cold and wet casualties.
As well as learning key techniques, you will spend plenty of time putting your skills to the test in practice scenarios, so expect to be active during the course.
