ADVANCED COURSE: Outdoor First Aid certification + Workshop Basics of field expeditions
May 22-24, 2024 | BIOPOLIS-CIBIO, Vairão, Portugal (Face-to-face)
The Outdoor First Aid course and certification is designed for anyone working outdoors and specially people working in remote locations where getting immediate assistance is unlikely. This course will be provided by qualified instructors based in UK with several years of experience and has been designed for instructors, teachers and group leaders working in remote areas or outdoor locations. It is also suitable for people travelling or working in remote locations. The 2-Day Outdoor First Aid course goes beyond the recommendations of the HSE 2-Day Outdoor First Aid course, and the certificate is valid for 3 years. This course is very practical and uses a scenario training to reinforce learning which builds real confidence and empowers candidates to act when emergencies arise.
The workshop on the Basics of field expeditions will consist of talks on the planning, organisation, and management of expeditions to remote areas in different environments, including deserts, tropical forest, mountains, and others. We will present and discuss adequate protocols and tasks for the before, during and after the expedition. This will be a good opportunity for participants to get input on their expedition plans and engage on discussions about team, operations, and emergency management.
Application deadline: April 08, 2024
