Outdoor Education - Schools
These courses focus on first aid in the outdoors environment and satisfy the requirements of most outdoor NGB awards.
The aims of the courses are 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.
Cost:
£100 to Sheffield LA staff.
