During

gain the confidence to act effectively in an emergency. By using "Active
Learning" and a comprehensive workbook we ensure that you remember the
skills and feel confident to use them.
Almost
uniquely, our medically based course stresses the importance of not
moving injured patients and shows you how to safely hold spinal injuries
in position, rather than just putting them in the recovery position.
In
addition we will also be looking at the treatment of typical sports
illnesses and injuries that you may encounter.
