Outdoor First Aid Course
This Outdoor First Aid Course will teach you how to manage both minor and major first aid situations in outdoor environments and specialises in the knowledge and skills to handle medical emergencies in remote outdoor environments including air, land and sea rescue.
Having the ability to improvise with available materials and adapt to changing circumstances is crucial in outdoor settings and emphasizes the importance of providing care until further professional help arrives, which may take longer depending on the outdoor environment. As a result, these situations often involve limited resources, improvised first aid techniques, and the need to manage a casualty for an extended period.
Target Audience: Anyone involved in outdoor activities including remote settings.
