Casualty care in

First aid training courses in are vital to ensure that your workforce are prepared to deal with any potential medical emergency. Good casualty care in an emergency can make massive differences to outcomes. It can mean the difference between someone losing a leg, or being able to walk and run again. Of course, in extreme situations, it is a matter of life or death. Good casualty care training in is an essential part of first aid provision where there is any risk at all of accidental injury, whether on a construction site, a mountain side or in industrial premises.

Good communication – the ability to listen to the patient (if conscious), or look for tell-tale signs or identity tags to spot any underlying conditions – is an essential skill in good casualty care. Once your rescue teams have done their job, it’s vital to establish whether the person needs specialist medication, or whether they’re at risk of hypoglycaemia or anaphylactic shock from an allergic reaction.  Skilled examination of the casualty for hidden injuries will inform casualty handling procedures

Casualty handling in

Proper casualty handling is an essential skill in any rescue scenario.

Not only does the patient suffer, but the rescuer can be badly affected by his or her perceived contribution to their subsequent difficulties.

First Aid Trauma Care in

First aid trauma care training equips your rescuers and first aiders to assess the gravity of a casualty’s condition and to take appropriate action to protect them from further suffering or death. Fractures, internal injuries and underlying health conditions all make moving and handling casualties more risky and complicated. The need to remove the casualty from danger is always carefully balanced with the need to ensure that further trauma doesn’t result from moving him or her in an inappropriate way.

Our first aid trauma care courses are led by people who have worked on the front line of fire and rescue services in the public and private sectors. They are constantly updating their own knowledge and skills to ensure that the training we offer to your personnel reflects the latest research and best practice models. All members of the British Fire and Rescue Association, they are in constant touch with front-line workers and still work in live situations on a regular basis.
