first aid 2 day

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

Duration:
2 days.

£90 to Sheffield LA staff.
