Day 2 (final day) of our Outdoor First Aid, F & EFAW course with the icredible Allan Shaw experience. It was another fantastic training day. Real life scenarios allowing everyone to use their skills and knowledge and put it all into practice ! One scenario had a total of 27 different injuries and as a group we were able to access them all, learning triage skills, incorporating newfound skills to adapt and overcome under pressure to improvise and use whatever you can to help save a life. It was all completely hands on with so much real life knowledge and expertise from Allan it truly was a great day.
