Basic First Aid Workshop for Leaders - Virtual

This hour and a half virtual course run in conjunction with British Red Cross is an introduction to first aid and helps leaders learn basic lifesaving skills using everyday objects. The workshop is not accredited, but is a  simple way to improve first aid knowledge and build confidence. 

If this day doesn't work for you, we are also running the same course on 24th April. 

During the workshop, we will have the opportunity to practice hands-on techniques for administering CPR, treating wounds, and stabilising injuries.

The instructor will provide step-by-step guidance on how to assess a situation, prioritise care, and effectively communicate with emergency services.

By the end of the workshop, we should feel more confident in our ability to respond to medical emergencies and provide crucial assistance until professional help arrives.

Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to learn life-saving skills and enhance your preparedness for unexpected situations. 

Please note that we are prioritising places on this event for leaders, and those who have already applied to become leaders. This course is aimed at leisure and lowland and hill leaders, social leaders, cultural and heritage leaders, road, leisure and gravel cycle leaders, hostel and camping leaders. If it proves popular and their is demand we'll be delighted to arrange further events that are open to all members.

Further Training

If you want to extend your first aid knowledge or can't attend either of these OutdoorLads specific sessions then why not take one of the British Red Cross online courses, more details available here:

Outdoor First Aid Course

Our mountain walk, outdoor climbing and mountain biking leaders require the outdoor first aid 2-day certified course - these online sessions do not meet that requirement, but may be useful as a refresher of the basics for those leaders. We do have some of those courses available: in Warrington and the Peak District, with more likely to be added in due course. Please sign up to one of these, or contact support@outdoorlads.com for help in getting on the right training course for you.
