Training and scenarios are based on being more than several minutes, up to several hours from help or a rescue team arriving. The first day covers essential lifesaving techniques with the second day building upon this with more in depth first aid and plenty of practical outdoor scenarios.
Emphasis is placed on injuries specific to the mountain environment and the need to monitor casualties until help arrives. This course will give you the skills to cope with most minor or major first aid incidents and ensure that you feel confident dealing with them safely and systematically.
Core content: A systematic approach to incident management, vital signs, recovery position, CPR (adult and child), drowning, choking, heart attacks, bleeding, shock, hypothermia, head injuries, neck and spinal injuries, fractures, soft tissue injuries, common medical emergencies, outdoor scenarios etc.
