Course ethos:
This course is designed to enhance your understanding and knowledge and give you plenty of hands on practical experience. No prior knowledge or qualification is necessary as we start with the basics and move towards the techniques and understanding that enable you to make decisions and escalate interventions in the field. Our principle remains “Advanced at the Basics” rather than basic at the advanced. For this reason, all invasive skill sessions will be led by our Doctor or a state registered paramedic to ensure that you follow best practice and have plenty of opportunity to practice and gain confidence in the techniques. By the end of the course you should feel confident in your ability and able to follow best practice guidelines.
Certificated by ITC, an HSE approved organisation and QCA approved awarding body. Valid for 3 years. Invasive skills are certificated seperatly as a course of instruction.
This course can now include AED training as the Fred easyport is small enough to be included in your expedition kit. To find out more please call us.
The April course have been moved to devon for logistical reasons.
