  Event: 2-Day Outdoor First Aid Course

  Dates:  26th and 27th April 2025

  Time: 09:30 to 18:30

  Location:  Rhodes Minnis, Canterbury

  Responsible External Coach: Adtrex Ltd

  Cost: £115.00 for the course

  Outdoor First Aid presents rescuers with the unique situation of prolonged care of a patient in a remote area before help arrives. This means that the rescuer is responsible for providing first aid care for the victim until help arrives.

  The rescuer may be faced with many challenges, including:

  ·       The need to improvise first aid equipment and supplies because not all of them will be available in remote environments.

  ·       The need to provide long-term care because help may not arrive for hours.

  ·       The need to provide emergency care when there are no emergency supplies or equipment available.

  The 16-hour outdoor first aid course will contain some classroom learning of first aid but will also be practical with the realistic casualty scenarios in order to bring the course to life and provide a practical way of learning how to provide first aid. 

  Previous experience required: None.

  Assessment:  Continuous Assessment takes place during this course along with a multiple choice question paper.

  Qualifications

  ·       16 Hour Level 2 Venturer Medicine First Aid and adheres to a Level 2 Expedition Care Programmes

  This is a Led paddle on the Tidal Thames for Sea Kayak Award Level Paddlers in Sea Kayaks only due strong flows, tides and boat traffic on the Thames.

  Thames Tidal Paddle date confirmed Saturday 10th May - £61.20pp. (9am to 5pm).

  The cost covers launch fees at Shadwell Boat Centre (which has toilets/changing facilities), and fees for two local Advanced Sea Kayak Leadere to guide us for the day. Parking is free on surrounding roads. Paddling the Thames in central requires special knowledge, the coaches bring that knowledge. We need to bring the skills.

  Goal for day: Paddle from Shadwell area through city centre and back. There aren't many places to land in the centre during high water - this means it is quite committing paddle all the way to Battersea (St Mary's Church) - about 2 hours each way. Achieving this full goal is dependent on the group, and the conditions we get on the day. 

  What makes it committing is the time in the boat without landing + the bouncy water at hight water made up of current + traffic + clapotis off the walls, don't under estimate this, consider this Moderate to Advanced Water (under the guidance of two experienced coaches/leaders). 

  There are toilets and changing facilities. 

  Bring a packed lunch and food for the day, your sea kayak and paddling kit, a personal first aid kit, self rescue kit (if you need stuff). 

  3*/Sea Kayak Award level paddling required for this activity. You will need the stamina to paddle for at least 2hrs in moderate water without landing. 

  If you are concerned that you are not at the standard, there is plenty of times to sort those skills and stamina between now and May.

  Type of Event:  Led Paddle by 2 x Advanced Sea Kayak Leaders from Sixknots.  Limited to 8 paddlers due to class of water. 

  Organiser: Di Phillips

  Date: Saturday 10th May 

  Approx. Location: Shadwell, free parking in local streets, launch at Shadwell Boat Centre. Car share recommended to minimise car parking spaces needed. 

  Payment: £61.30pp, payable at time of registering.  This includes the card payment fees.
