Outdoor Education - Schools
This course has a focus on first aid in the outdoors and satisfies the requirements of most outdoor NGB awards.
The aim of the course is to enable students to recognise when someone has a medical emergency, and be able to immediately give the appropriate assistance at first aid level. The courses aim to keep medical jargon and terminology to a minimum, concentrating on what you do in different situations rather than what you know. To this end students learn a set of general principles, which they can adapt to different situations.
Topics covered will include:
- Assessments of situation and casualty
- Airway, breathing and circulation assessments, including emergency resuscitation
- Safe airway position
- Dealing with choking
- Treatment of severe bleeding and shock
- Major injuries, including chest and head injuries
- Treatment of breaks and fractures
- Environmental injuries such as hypothermia and hyperthermia
- Life threatening conditions, such heart attack, asthma, diabetes
- Management of emergency situations, including basic casualty movement
