Wilderness First Responder Course
Thursday, March 22, 2007
Glenmore Lodge will be running the Wilderness First Responder Course from the 29th October to the 4th November 2007.
The First Responder certificate is growing in reputation as a global standard in training. The Wilderness First Responder Course includes the First Responder Syllabus and applies it to remote situations including protracted care issues.
The WFR course focuses on extending students basic knowledge of first aid through lectures containing theory and practical sessions and scenarios applying the techniques. Treatment plans are taught by concepts to allow the students to apply them in diverse situations.
Students are engaged and encouraged to gather data to enable an on-line doctor to make a diagnosis and direct basic treatment. The course develops the ability to gather and communicate medical and scene information and focuses on the following core competences:
· Effective patient assessment in diverse environments and situations
· Safe, appropriate use of oxygen, AED and Entonox
· Basic treatment for fractures including traction
· Transportation of casualties
· Triage and scene management
· Long-term patient management
Retention of skills is ensured through a proven learning system, this involves a four-step process: theory, demonstration, practical, and finally, scenarios. All students are continually assessed in and out of-doors throughout this intensive course.
The course develops a supportive learning environment to allow students and trainers to give and receive feedback. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable to ensure that everyone is open to learning. The course is a continually learning process both from the faculty of trainers and from other students. Mentoring is used to allow students to be coached on a one to one level throughout the course.
The course is designed for those working in remote locations for those with support from another more experienced medic or online support from a doctor. Those attending have included Mountain Rescue teams and remote exploration team members and many more from adventure tourism.
