A Fresh Take On Outdoor First Aid Training In Cumbria

May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Fieldskills has recently set up a permanent base in Ulverston, Cumbria. From here Outdoor First Aid is taught at a variety of locations in Cumbria. Dominic Hall who heads Fieldskills and main Outdoor First Aid trainer uses his experiences as an expedition leader to bring Outdoor First Aid to life: real life examples from personal experiences in the Cumbrian fells through to expeditions in Borneo, alongside plenty of practical application, makes for engaging and memorable training.

Outdoor First Aid is a two-day (16 hour) course suitable for all NGB qualifications including SPA & ML. Basic lifesaving skills are taught including accident procedures and latest protocols. But the key difference between Outdoor First Aid and other first aid courses is that it focuses on the application of first aid techniques in a ‘far from help’ situation: it’s not quite to easy to pick up a ‘phone and call an ambulance when miles from anywhere with no mobile reception.

Trainees on Fieldskills’ Outdoor First Aid training in Cumbria are from varied backgrounds: from outdoor professionals and fieldworkers through to individuals wanting more in-depth first aid know-how for their own activities such as hill walking. People can opt for a one-day Outdoor First Aid: Emergency Action course, or go for the full two-day qualification.

Outdoor First Aid training is necessary for all those wanting to pursue a career in outdoor activities and expedition leadership, and to be trained by those who have spent many a year on expedition is a huge benefit.
