Learners will gain hands on experience in managing a wide range of medical incidents including cardiac arrest, unconscious casualties, severe bleeding, fractures, burns, and medical conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, and anaphylaxis. The course is highly practical, with extensive scenario based training to ensure delegates are confident in applying their skills in real world situations. Training is delivered in small groups to ensure every learner receives individual attention and practical coaching throughout the programme.
