TRAINING

We deliver Health and Safety Executive approved First Aid at Work courses as well as a range of sessions from Oxygen Therapy to Substance Abuse Awareness. Our open programme includes courses in Outdoor Emergency Care for those active in remote locations both on land and sea. Our instructors are qualified as professional trainers and deliver courses with a practical perspective gained from healthcare experience both in the UK and abroad.


We can organise courses either at your location or if you do not have a venue available, we can use one of our network of established venues throughout much of the UK. See below to look at some options, but remember we are always happy to shape courses to the needs of our clients. Contact our training team to discuss how we can help.
