Tim Cain is a qualified Rescue and Emergency Care (REC) Trainer, He delivers Rescue and Emergency Care 1st Aid training courses specifically tailored to people who live, work and play in the Great Outdoors. Tim is a volunteer for the Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team and this course was delivered at the SMRT purpose built rescue headquarters on Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire.
Most of us complete this training as a matter of necessity due to our leading and coaching responsibilities but it has to be said this was a very rewarding and worthwhile two days. This course goes beyond simple first aid and equips you with the skills to manage situations and incidents in the outdoor environment where a lot of us do spend a great deal of time.
One of the problems we may encounter in a rural environment is that it may be more difficult to 'get help' and the emergency services could take an awful lot longer to reach us. With this in mind we were equipped with the knowledge to make good decisions and taught the skills to manage incidents for, what could possibly be, a longer period of time.
It really is quite simple, if you enjoy and spend much time in the outdoors then this is the First Aid course to attend, don't put it off, your family and friends may be relying on you. The one thing I would really hate is to be involved in an incident and feel helpless, this course furnishes you with the skills that really could make the difference, the difference between life and death..
