Learn life-saving skills at this practical first aid course for farmers and forestry workers
The next round of dates are now available on:
- Thursday 1st December at Borderway Mart, Carlisle*
- Tuesday 8th November at Newtown St Boswells Mart, Melrose
These first aid courses are specifically tailored for farmers and forestry workers covering potential scenarios such as quad bike accidents, and incidents involving machinery and animals. The course offers practical advice and guidance on what to do if the worst does happen and an accident occurs on the farm. Sometimes, injuries can’t be fixed with basic first aid but knowing the right action to take while help is on the way could make all the difference.
In partnership with H&H Safety, the First Aid for Farmers course is delivered by Farm and Forestry First Aid (F3A) and to date all the courses we have run at H&H have had a 100% positive and appropriate training feedback.
The half-day course covers essential first-aid skills such as assessing a casualty, the correct recovery position, how to administer CPR, using an Automated External Defibrillator, as well as learning about the treatment of crush injuries, amputation, impalement and severe bleeding and is led by qualified health care professionals registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, with a choice of morning or afternoon sessions available. Participants will be presented with a certificate following completion of the course.
The morning or afternoon course costs just £100 plus VAT. To book your place email [email protected] or call Nina Oxley on 01228 406348.
