Human First Aid - Appointed Person Course With Andy Ormston Pa Cert Ed Dip PCS MiFL
Paramedic/ Emergency Care Practitioner/ Clinical Lecturer
Why this is so important ?
In
the instance where an employer’s assessment of First Aid needs
identifies that a trained First Aider is not necessary, the minimum
requirement in law is to appoint a person to take charge of the First
Aid arrangements. Employers must appoint a person for this purpose.
This person is known as an appointed person and that person needs to
have attended and passed a nationally recognised training course. Most
equestrian facilities need to appoint their first aider and this course
is ideal for individuals in the equestrian industry who wish to gain
knowledge of emergency procedures and attain a recognised qualification
in First Aid. The course includes and addresses common problems
encountered in yard, show and training environments.
The day
course consists of practical and theory work covering legalities,
responsibilities and reporting, as well as assessing the situation,
dealing with an unconscious casualty, resuscitation, heart attacks,
choking, control of bleeding, fractures, burns, shock, head injuries,
spinal injuries, falls, hypothermia and bruising.
Students will
be assessed throughout the whole course and if successful awarded their
certification. This qualification is valid for 3 years.
The courses will take place at the Mendip Stud on Thursday 27th March and Thursday the 25th June
