Outdoor First Aid Training
First Aid Training should be considered an essential life skill. All British Mountain Guides regularly attend Outdoor First Aid training courses to ensure that their skills remain current.
Through React First we deliver two different outdoor first aid courses both of which fulfil the needs of the UK outdoor national governing bodies for their instructor awards, such as BMG, IML, BASI, ML, MIA, MIC etc.
The outdoor environment nearly always means that any casualty has to be looked after for a longer time scale than is typical in an urban setting, both these outdoor first aid courses look at how to manage remote outdoor situations and the casualty appropriately.
Open courses run in London and from April 2010 they will also be available in Chamonix. Group courses can be run anywhere in the UK, Europe and beyond...

Thank you for the great course that you delivered for The Westway. The practical scenarios were excellent for getting people used to what they should be thinking about when faced with a real first aid situation. This is the first courses that I have been on where I can still remember weeks later what we learnt.
The course content was perfect and dealt with every aspect of outdoor first aid. Whether it was for fell walkers,mountaineers,skiers and myself an outdoor charity worker in Asian climates (Habitat for Humanity).This course has given me more practical, hands on experience of first aid that I have ever attended.
As a medical student at Kings College London I have attended about 3 Basic Life Support sessions as part of my course in the first year alone. However this 2 day outdoor course went much further, and dealt with difficult and advanced issues that would not be covered on a less intensive course. So thanks a lot for a brilliant course that I feel has really equipped me with the knowledge and skills to venture into the outdoors safely!
