Join us for a bespoke first aid course specifically designed for those involved with fieldsports. Fieldsports see participants and instructors operating off road vehicles and weapons, often in remote locations. Whilst hugely rewarding, this scenario represents a unique set of challenges for a first aider and the emergency services. The ability to be a part of your own solution is literally lifesaving. This course is based around a fieldsports risk assessment; is entirely practical; and meets the Health and Safety Executive guidelines. Learning is delivered using realistic scenarios outdoors. Candidates are assessed through practical demonstration not written examination and you will receive an accredited certificate at the end of the course.
Plus there is the opportunity to do some shooting at the wonderful Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds if you wish.
