First Aid Course - 31st March.

DAM are arranging a first aid course for members on 31st March.

The course will be delivered by Rubicon First Aid, their course covers:

Course supported and endorsed by: MAG, BMF, IAM (motorcyclists section), and Police Bike Safe schemes at County level.

Course inspected for technical content by IHCD (who produce the Ambulance Service Training manual and First Person on Scene course for First Responders).

Covers first aid guidelines (UK), Scene safety, emergency rescues (when to move, when not to move), manage an incident (with and without rider protective clothing), dealing with collapse, spinal management, when and how to remove safety helmet, different types of safety helmets, solo rescuer helmet removal, severe bleed, shock, suggested first aid kit contents (Kits are made up and available on the course, with explanation as to contents and how and when used), also includes a motor cyclist specific A5 first aid manual, slim line, and ring bound, to make it easy to carry under the seat, or in tank bag, or rucksack, or even in a large jacket pocket.

People and groups who have done this course include MAG, IAM and BMW groups UK wide, also Kevin and Julia Sanders and the staff at Globe busters motorcycle expeditions and the BMW off road rider training school in South Wales.

We also supplied fastest solo rider around the world Nick Sanders, with specifically adapted first aid kits for his expedition Lisbon to Timbuktu.

To keep the costs down to a very reasonable £40.00 per attendee we need at least 20 people to sign up for the training.

Those who are interested in taking the course and equipping themselves with what could be a lifesaving skill (I did this course myself last time we ran it, and when I did need to manage a accident scene it definitely helped focus the mind on the important aspects) please contact Bill McReady via his email (billjean@tiscali.co.uk) or evening phone on 01325 311426.
