First Aid Training, Rugby

[Joe Newton]

Hi there, hoping someone can help.

I read here a while ago about a decent FA training provider in Rugby, possibly Dunchurch. Can't find it with the search function.

 

I'm hoping to get some info on a more involved course than the 1 day one.

 

Cheers, Joe

Not Bob Crick? He's trained me before and is fantastic. The guy I heard of was based in Dunchurch I think, and ran courses specific to arb.

Yeah Bob crick, didn't read your 1st post properly re a more than one day course. Still might be worth a shout as they do sometimes tailor courses to suit companies/individuals requirements if enough people on it.

HI Joe,

It looks like the course you are looking for is the Emergency First Aid at Work +F (Forestry) it covers Major haemorrhage and Trauma, crush injuries, suspension syncope, Hypothermia, Leptospirosis (Weil's Disease) and Lyme disease.

As a qualified first aid instructor and Arboricultural / Forestry Instructor and lecturer I run these courses it is run over 3 days, and is as follows -

 

Day 1 - standard EFAW and AED (Defibrillator) Qualification training.

Day 2 - all +F units as detailed above including training on working with air support units (air Ambulance), administering Epi-pen for anaphylaxis casualties, Correct procedures for Helmet removal, on site Risk assessments and emergency procedures.

Day3 - all the above training is tested under realistic forestry/Arbor scenarios testing appropriate aerial rescue techniques, immediate action including coordinating emergency services, Risk assessments, casualty treatment and monitoring.

 

Not sure about who is running them in rugby but contact your local Forestry commission office for approved courses for the industry as this new guidance has come from the F.C.

I hope this helps.
