Report: 

This highly successful course was run by Jon Parry to enhance all of our skills in Outdoor First Aid and in particular to increase our ability to respond in situations where First Aid or Medical Assistance is needed in really remote situations such as on expedition. We learnt about a full range of First Aid, from dealing with severe cases of trauma to how to avoid, and the importance of not ignoring early signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion, all important and useful knowledge to have in situations both on CUHWC trips and on other hillwalking or mountaineering trips with CUHWC members.
