Supporting The Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team.
Day two of the teams outdoor first aid course saw team members outside in a more realistic environment.
All our team members are trained to a high standard and are continuously trained in different procedures and put into realistic situations so they are ready if their skills are ever needed.
Sunday saw a number of team members on the first day of a two day outdoor first aid course.
For some it was their first taste of outdoor first aid, others were re qualifying.
Classroom sessions are broken by practice and training in the more realistic outdoors. It is always best to get experience in conditions similar to those in which they will be operating.
As medical situations can occur on any of our call outs, first aid training is given to all team members.
After passing the first course, individuals can move on to higher levels of medical training and qualifications.
We already have in our team a large number of very highly trained medics including Paramedics and Doctors.
