First Aid Course

Yesterday I completed a 2 day Outdoor First Aid course with a local company called ‘Addventure’.

Anyone working in the outdoor industry requires an up to date First Aid certificate, which are valid for 3 years. This course was a refresher for me to be able to keep my Mountain Leader qualification valid, and it is also a requirement for my insurance.

The course was run at Emergency House, home of Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team, and run by John Roberts who was an excellent instructor. John certainly knew his stuff and we all went away educated and inspired. Some of the scenarios were certainly thought provoking, but if you stick to the ABC procedure that is taught then you can’t go wrong. A highly recommended course for anyone looking to re qualify or even if you just want to know the basics of First Aid
