Essential Forest School First Aid Training Best Choice [jYEJr3ay]

The requirements for Forest School First Aid can be met by completing a 2 day Forest Schools Award in outdoor first aid. However many groups prefer or require specialist and tailored training involving infants for instance, with a tailored, contextualised approach to content often mixing elements of infant/child/adult training as determined by the group. This training course is designed to provide that flexibility.

What's included in your Forest Schools First Aid  training?

Topics include; roles & responsibilities, adult/child/infant-specific treatments, dealing with collapse (with and without breathing), choking, bleeding, shock, major illnesses, torso and limb injuries, environmental effects, heat and cold injuries, using first aid kit, outdoor-specific scenarios, outdoor incident management and looking after a casualty for more than 10 minutes.

This course is designed to provide outdoor incident management skills. Typical delivery methods are predominantly practical, with elements occurring out of doors in outdoor clothing and on various terrains.

Course Duration

The course is set over two days with a minimum of 16 hours of tutor contact time (excluding breaks). All first aid training must be renewed after three years.
