Emergency 1st Aid Training for the Outdoors Environment.
I’m a qualified Rescue and Emergency Care (REC) Trainer, I deliver Rescue and Emergency Care 1st Aid training courses specifically tailored to the outdoor environment. Certified to teach in the lifelong skills sector, I’m dedicated to delivering high quality and effective training, based not only on my theoretical learning, but also drawing upon my extensive experience as a practising Mountain Rescue team medic, Wilderness (WEMSI) Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and a British Association of Ski Patrollers (BASP) Rescue EMT.
If you live, work or play in the Great Outdoors my courses prepare you to take the lead and act effectively in an emergency. In fact if you’re anybody who wants to know what to do in an emergency! Walk on by, isn’t an option.
I follow three training principles: Realism, Challenge and Fun.

Courses
My courses are delivered under the REC programme which emphasise practical hands-on scenario based learning. Combine this with my experience of both incident management and pre-hospital care and my training courses represent significant value for money. Not only do I aim to promote fun in learning but you also get a 3 year 1st Aid Certificate (a requirement for outdoor activity leaders and recognised by National Governing Bodies for Adventure Sports). Following successful completion of the course you receive a certificate from Rescue Emergency Care Services for your logbook.
Examples of how I might be able to help you:
