FIRST RESPONSE EMERGENCY CARE – LEVEL 3

This regulated and nationally recognised prehospital care qualification is ideal for those seeking a career in the emergency services, the security sector or those who work in high risk workplaces. While the course is useful for all environments, we give special consideration to the specific difficulties of working in remote, austere and resource poor environments.

Over a 5 day period, learners will gain the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to deal with a range of emergencies, such as: catastrophic bleeding, airway management, medical and traumatic emergencies and more.

Endorsed by The Faculty of Pre-Hospital Care (The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh) this fantastic qualification also forms part of a progressive suite of prehospital care qualifications that lead to the QA Level 6 Diploma in Paramedic Practice (RQF).
