Remote Emergency Care Level 2
The course was held in Christ’s College. It began as a classroom exercise with a healthy mix of discussions and scenarios as we covered the DrABCs (Danger, Airways, Breathing, Circulation). Next we moved on to other common ailments (allergic reactions, chocking, stroke [FAST], heart attack, Diabetes and Hypothermia). Of these, hypothermia was of particular interest! In general, however, our instructor was particularly adept at relating the material we were covering to our interests in the outdoors. We regularly moved outside on to Christ’s Pieces and had some more in-depth scenarios. The course was a useful refresher of familiar first aid practices and introduction to new practices. The outdoor scenarios were particularly useful.
