Outdoor First Aid Revalidation - One Day Course
About the Course
Outdoor First Aid differs from urban-based first aid in that it may necessitate care of a patient for long periods before help arrives. It also means that access to specialised equipment may be unavailable and that improvisation is needed. Handling an outdoor first aid situation may also require a good understanding and practical application of accident management.
Your Outdoor First Aid Revalidation Course will focus not only on first aid procedures but also on leadership and group control.
Your course facilitator(s) will be qualified to Pre-Hospital Emergency Care and NZ Resuscitation Council Instructor level and will be experienced outdoor professionals. They will be there to facilitate learning and will be wanting to have fun while doing so.
Your course will consist of a mixture of instruction, facilitated discussion and outdoor scenarios. Scenario-based learning involves working with other people, both patients and team members, and then debriefing what happened. Scenarios are designed to maximise learning - not to show you what you don't know.
To achieve the Outdoor First Aid Certificate Revalidation you must show competency in scenarios. Details of what constitutes competency in each scenario will be clearly communicated to you before commencement.
As this is a certificated course, the certificate can only be issued upon FULL attendance of the ENTIRE course.
