Wilderness First AID Course

LEARN MORE

WILDERNESS FIRST AID COURSE

This course includes and extends the topics typically taught on a first aid course and is intended for those of us who would be expected to take a leadership position in an emergency while on a hike through the bush, during a diving trip or on an overland adventure through Africa.

AUDIENCE

Adventurers, travellers, farmers and remote site workers who are often far from hospitals and ambulances. We have had a wide variety of students on previous courses including school teachers with no medical experience, and those with years of medical experience such as ops medics, doctors and paramedics. Our students also have a variety of bush experience from casual day walkers to expedition mountaineers. We believe such a mix is important to ensure a stimulating learning experience for all.

FEATURES

The course consists of 2 phases, in the theory phase a set of lectures are scheduled for weekday evenings over a number of weeks. Each lecture session consists of a quiz to assess the topics already covered, a few lectures and a practical session. This is followed by a practical phase which takes 2 to 3 days. These days are spent continuously in the bush practising the skills that were covered in the theory phase.

COURSE CONTENT

-Action at an emergency
-Physical and environmental hazards
-Victim Assessment & Urgent Care
-Poisons, toxins & plants
