    Hi Guys,

    I just read the thread regarding first aid training and thought i’d make an offer if enough people are interested. I’m a advanced first aid instructor and would be happy to run a training package for free – i could probably get people certified as well although that would cost the individual something like 30 or 40 Dhs to get the paperwork through.

    I have been training first aid for some time, as well as being an instructor registered with EFR in the UAE i am also Military Advanced Trauma Life Support qualified and a UK Police Firearms Medic.

    All of the first aid courses out here are pretty standard in terms of content and cover life support and first aid – both of which are extremely relevant as far as we are concerned. Imagine being in Liwa 100k from the nearest highway when someone has a heart attack or (god forbid) an arterial bleed as a result of an accident.

    At the very least i would be happy to give some advice and guidance on the contents of a decent first aid kit – which hopefully we all carry!

    Let me know if you are interested.

    Thanks Andy,
    I too would like to join, and yes all of us would like to get the proper certification even if it costs a little bit of money.
    In fact this should be mandatory for all Marshals at least, so that we know what to do in an emergency till proper Medical attention could be provided.
    I leave it up to you to post a suitable event at your discretion on one of the Fridays or Saturdays in February perhaps?
    Please let me know on how I can help you to facilitate this?

    Thanks for the kind offer Andy. Am definately in for the training as well as the certification.

    Maybe when time permits if you could share a bit more details on your logistical requirements in terms of location suitability (indoors v/s outdoors), course duration and props required etc etc then a few of us could start working on the logistical angle as well while we leave the content etc to you.

    :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

    Hi Andy,

    Thank you for extending such a wonderful much needed guidance/knowledge… :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: Whether ON or OFF road, this knowledge will be always helpful… and I am very bad at it (very poor knowledge)… 🙁 🙁 🙁 I am good at Number crunching (having CA, CIA, CISA, CFE and CRMA) 😕 😕 😕 and would be more than happy to help any one…

    I am definitely in for gaining this basic knowledge…

    Thank you again… :thanks:
