Overview

This course is suitable for people aged 18+ who might need to provide first aid to someone who is injured or becomes ill while at work.

It is ideal for organisations whose first aid needs assessment has identified a requirement for someone to hold a current outdoor first aid qualification. If your needs assessment identifies a requirement for additional first aid training (e.g. due to having employees with a medical condition), then an employer or organisation may wish to consider our 3-day Outdoor first aid training course which teaches the skills to recognise and treat a wider range of injuries and medical conditions.

.

It gives learners the skills and confidence to respond to a range of accidents and first aid emergencies they could encounter in the outdoor workplace.

Learners will develop the skills and confidence to help someone who is:

• unresponsive and not breathing, including how to use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)
• unresponsive and breathing
• having a seizure
• choking
• bleeding heavily
• suffering from shock
• suffering from heat related injuries
• suffering from drowning or near drowning
• burnt

The course also includes information on:

• assessing a casualty
• extend care in the outdoors
• monitoring a casualty
• where to get help
• electrical incidents
• accident recording and reporting
• the control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH).

The course runs from 9am until 6pm, with a lunch break between the morning and afternoon sessions. We recommend that you bring your own lunch, as not all venues have food outlets on site or nearby.
