The whole course, from team work to one on one, was a fantastic experience and one which I would suggest all "outdoor people" take part in as you never know when you might need to use it. Nad Salaam York The Outdoor Leaders Medical Help Course exceeded all expectations. Pete & his Team created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that was informal, but at the same time highly professional. The course content was provided in easy to digest sections allowing you to fully understand the information. The practical side of the weekend was just BRILLIENT, and to be able to put a lot of suggestions in to practice was a really good way helping us remember. The insight of how a Mountain Rescue Team works was just one of the highlights of this course. I would recommend everyone to attend one of Pete's Medical Help Courses. Jenny Caddy WiltshireAn excellent Medical Help course combining the necessary elements of theory, delivered in a "learner friendly" manner, with plenty of opportunities for practical application / practice.
