I did their 5 day remote areas first responder course (you get a FAW ticket too). I've done quite a bit of first aid training over the years and found most of it boring, this was the first course I actually enjoyed doing!.

Its worth the drive to Hereford, the instructors are all very experienced ex-SF medics and the training facilities are excellent.

 

My first aid kit now contains Israeli field dressings (why soak up a pint of blood with a British field dressing when you can stop the bleed with one of these?). I also carry a CAT tourniquet. My first aid kit goes in my climbing bag and so goes everywhere I do.
