Outdoor First Aid Course

16/17 March

Twelve of us took part in this course, it was very interactive.

Practicing choking relief.

A lot of it was outside (all wearing lots of layers, on the second day at least). We learnt the best position for CPR, amongst other things and lots of scenarios.

Looking after a stroke victim

Gloves and shelters were very often used

Bandaging up a broken leg and arm while keeping them warm.

We all went home with new or refreshed knowledge and possibly the job of amending our first aid equipment.

Thanks everyone,

Rachel Powell
