First Aid +F Course

First Aid at Work +F Course in East Lothian

The FAW+F course sets First Aiders up with the necessary knowledge and skillset to provide a prolonged level of care to a patient before the next level of care arrives. Individuals working within these industries are usually at a higher risk of injury with a reduced amount of emergency care nearby; this course prepares professionals for these emergency situations.

First Aid Course Venue at Hedderwick Hill Stables – East Lothian

First Aid courses here at Ocean Vertical take place at Our Base, a cosy renovated Victorian stable building surrounded by woodlands, just a stone’s throw from the coast. The setting of our base enables us to include realistic, scenario-based, practice into the course which ensures First Aiders gain a more extensive understanding of how to react to situations and care for patients, and ultimately leave with a thorough level of preparation for emergency situations.

In addition to delivering courses at our base, we also have the flexibility to deliver our training at your location. This is ideal for organisations looking to qualify a group of first aiders. For our FAW+F Instructor to come to you, please get in touch.
