Activity First Aid (Qualsafe – Level 2)
Our Activity First Aid Qualsafe Level 2 course is aimed at those who have a responsibility for leading groups of people in remote areas, or participating in any outdoor activities. Whether it’s at work or on a voluntary capacity, such ventures can bring unknown hazards, from simple cuts and grazes to broken limbs, head and back injuries or even hypothermia.
Being prepared to deal with any emergency should always form part of an emergency plan and this course demonstrates how to deal effectively with first aid, emergency incidents when working in group, outdoor or adventure settings.
Working in the outdoors brings with it a whole host of unforseen hazards. Add to this, the potential delays in emergency service attendance times, lack of effective communication and difficulty in evacuation of casualties and it becomes clear that any first-aider must be effectively trained to manage emergencies in such situations.
Our First Aid for Outdoor Activities programme address these issues with students receiving training to provide first aid for longer periods than would be expected in more urban environments.
