Our Extreme Sports First Aid and Trauma Management Course is designed specifically for practitioners, guides and instructors. The course is run by Jocky Sanderson (Keswick Mountain Rescue team member & First Responder).
Dealing with a paragliding accident can be challenging;
injuries may be severe, locations remote and equipment limited.
In this two-day First Aid course designed specifically for paraglider pilots, guides and instructors,
we will build on your knowledge and skills to give you confidence in these stressful situations.
We focus on diagnosis, treatment and dynamic group management, across many scenarios.
This 2 day/16hours course ( £130) is ideal for paraglider pilots, clubs, guides and instructors. It will be run from the Flight Park & is BHPA approved.
