Most of this course will be spent outside in paddling kit, looking at real situations that paddlers could find themselves in whilst out in boats. The recurring theme is that of adapting first aid principles to deal with people in paddling kit, and in a cold, wet, wilderness environment, where help may be a long way away.

Topics covered include:

Primary and secondary survey, and adaptations to deal with a casualty in paddling kit
CPR and EAV
Using a Defibrillator
Dealing with airway problems
Deformities and injuries
Illness
Immobilisation of breaks, including improvisation with items of paddling kit
Managing a suspected spinal injury, in and out of the water
Looking after a casualty for an extended period
Evacuation of a casualty from the environment
Scenarios
Contents of a good paddling first aid kit, and other kit to carry in your boat

There is scope for this course to be adapted to the needs of the participants, whether you are coaching kids on your local pond, or are out with friends on the big stuff every weekend!

The course is assessed throughout the weekend, so you don't have to worry about an exam at the end.

On successful completion of the course, you will receive a 2 day REC first aid certificate, widely regarded as the best out there for outdoors sports, and accepted by most NGB's (including the BCU) The certificate fee £4.50, on the day.
