The outdoor environment nearly always means that the casualty has to be looked after for a longer timescale than is typical in a more urban setting. All of our outdoor First Aid courses look at how to manage the situation when the ambulance does not turn up in 10 minutes time and are appropriate if your work or leisure place is remote. The First Aid Trainer has an active interest and commitment to the outdoor environment and fully understand the issues, dilemmas and judgments required when dealing with incidents in potentially hostile remote environments making the training highly relevant to you needs. This course covers essential lifesaving techniques, especially dealing with casualties safely, systematically and sympathetically in the first few minutes of the more remote incident. Typically outdoor instructors working within centre grounds or on 'controlled' sites take this award as a minimum standard of duty of care. The course is also very popular with Trainee and assistant instructors starting out on their career. Interactive hands-on training is the hallmark of this course, designed for all those working in remote locations in the British Isles. Training and scenarios are based on being more than several minutes up to several hours from help or the rescue team arriving. The first day covers the Emergency Action content with the second day building upon this. This qualification covers the needs of the outdoor national governing bodies for their Instructor award

This is the new HSE 8 hour Emergency First Aid at Work Course. Please see our website for full details of employer requirements and this new HSE course. It covers all the essential life saving and emergency responses in the home, the workplace and in leisure activities and provides continual assessment and feedback. It is both interactive and purposeful. This course is endorsed by the Health and Safety Executive, providing a first aid qualification as sought by many in the workplace nowadays. Just one of many feedback emails received regarding these first aid courses: Just to say thanks for the first aid course. I was not looking forward to an eight hour concentrated course. I have been on them many times and nearly always found them tedious and a chore. A lot of information to be put in a short time. Usually for me that meant not a lot of information retention after a couple of hours. However, the course on Monday was inspirational. Alisdair's enthusiasm shone through and lasted the whole day. Not only did my rear end not complain from sitting in the same position but there was not a single moment when I was bored. Certainly the best first aid course I have been on. The food and hospitality was great.

With live music and a charmingly funny script, Huck is a messy, raucous and uncouth epic for young, old and everyone in between. Contains issues of racism and slavery. Suitable for ages 8yrs +.
