The course
The course is a two-day intensive course, that on successful completion will give the participant four (4) x competencies; HLTAID009 – Provide CPR, HLTAID010 – Provide Basic Emergency Life Support, HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid, and HLTAID013 – Provide First Aid in remote or isolated site.
We provide the skills and knowledge required to perform basic to advanced first aid interventions to a casualty in a remote or isolated site over an extended period of time where medical assistance is likely to be delayed. We then teach how to stabalise the patient over a period of time until medical assistance is provided, or evacuation occurs.
The course teaches how to plan your trip, organise an evacuation, utilise non first aid equipment for first aid use, monitor clinical changes by taking diagnostic observations of your patient, and teamwork.
