The outdoor environment nearly always means that the casualty has to be looked after for a longer timescale than is typical in a more urban setting. All of our Outdoor First Aid courses look at how to manage the situation when the ambulance does not turn up in 10 minutes time and are appropriate if your work or leisure place is remote. This qualification has been developed to meet the requirements of the worker or practitioner in the outdoor environment. It is suitable for workers in remote locations and will maintain the license to practice for those with Outdoor National Governing Body Instructor Awards. Course Duration
