First Aid Refresher

Training this week saw the team refreshing its first aid skills.  We never know what our incidents will involve and very often we are first on scene in remote locations with paramedics and ambulances some distance away.

We ran through a number of scenarios  starting with a primary survey which then led into various outcomes - unresponsive casualty, catastrophic bleeding, spinal injuries and so on.

The resuscitation dummies and training defibrillators, that we have access to are really valuable pieces of equipment.
