First Aid for The Outdoor Environment
The outdoor environment nearly always means that the casualty has to be looked after for a longer timescale than is typical in a more urban setting. All of our Outdoor First Aid courses look at how to manage the situation when the ambulance does not turn up within 10 minutes time and are appropriate if your work or leisure place is remote. No previous First Aid knowledge is needed.
