In Brief
This training session was very much
a recap of all the syllabus covered in the May
session and was mostly classroom based with significant
time spent on scenarios. As per previous years the format
was very intensive with session lasting around 5 to
6 hours a day. Some of the participants had improved
significantly and this lead to the decision to make
3 spaces available for ADVANCED FIRST AID TRAINING in
March - this is to take the level of key guides to an
advanced stage over and above topics already covered
- i.e. advanced airway management, IM injections and
IV cannulation in wilderness situations. Please see
the March
2006 report for more news on how that went!
