We have a variety of courses available, any clinical content or medical based skills are only taught by practising doctors or paramedics:
- Adventure Medicine (1 Day)
- Expedition Medicine (1 Day)
- Adventure & Expedition Medicine (2-days) which exceeds first aid requirements for outdoor instructors qualifications
- Gap-Year Medicine (1 or 2 Days) which is taught through participating schools/colleges to prepare young people to keep themselves and others safe on their travels
- Urban Medicine (1 day) which prepares non-medics and medical students to respond to urban based trauma such as terrorist attacks or road traffic accidents
- Surf Medicine – coming soon!
An example of the content-rich days you can expect from our courses can be viewed below, delivered as practically as possible to ensure an engaging and enjoyable learning experience. Each course incorporates pre-arrival reading, real-time scenarios, informal Q&A and no exams (there is continuous assessment). We will provide certificates or letters for your portfolios upon completion.
Why book our courses?
We are one of only two companies in the United Kingdom that only use qualified and practising doctors and paramedics with adventure sport/expedition experience/military background to deliver content as standard (rather than first aiders). This is a purposeful decision, medical professionals are required by law to undertake CPD which means their knowledge, expertise and relevant experience must be continually updated. We tend to select trainers who have also undertaken a post-graduate MSc in some form of austere environment training such as MSc Extreme Medicine which is operated through Exeter University Medical School. Our intention is to offer our clients the best course possible which will be fit for purpose.
Even if you do not feel the need to undertake first aid training our courses look superb on CVs. Incorporating all the core skills sought by corporate companies (decision making, strategic thinking, confidence, team work, good follower) we are happy to erite you a personal letter upon completion for your portfolios.
