Plastered on Traprain Law. November 18, 2007
Posted by Bill in : First Aid, Outdoor Learning , 1 comment so far
One of the many courses that get run by ELOE are our First Aid courses available to all EL employees. Thanks to all the attendees enthusiasm and great acting on the Emergency aid course that I have been teaching over the last few weeks. The last day was an outdoor day basing ourselves around Traprain Law.
I always feel it’s hard to get everything into such a short course, but the addition of the outdoor day helps. Here are some links to information pages on first aid discussed on Saturday (they link to others) and a reminder of one of the acronyms that we had been using (not on the slides). Please feel free to leave post on whether you find these resources useful and perhaps what you thought of the course. Thank you all for your positive comments at end of the course today, I really enjoyed the course too, mainly down to all the discussion and honest input from the group.(Erika- you were correct the second H is for head injuries! not hypoxia, but that could be in there too!)
