POSTPONED – 2023
Done your Remote Area or Wilderness First Aid (or similar) and want to do some scenarios to have fun and refresh your skills? Well I have an opportunity for you!
In 3 weeks (17th Dec) I will be running a First Aid Simulation Day/Evening for club members and trip leaders on Malabar headland. The plan is to do ahead regardless of weather as we run trips in all weather.

The aim it to share, retain and regain First Aid and Situational Management skills particularly leveraging off the fresh skills of the WFA students doing the training next weekend. So we will try and do loads of different simulations using gear we would usually take on trips, the more realistic the better for this. To that end, bring along your First Aid Kits (We use them but its good to know what’s there) and other gear you would take on your primary sport (Rope, Pack, Hiking Poles, etc). That way we will have stuff for all sports and can do realistic responses. Please respond In the comment what sport’s stuff you will bring.
What ELSE to bring:
- Bring snacks for the afternoon/evening, we will provide dinner but not snacks
- Bring Drinking Water, we will provide some refreshing drinks exactly what to be decided.
- Bring OLD first aid supplies from home that might be out of date or going a bit bad so bolster our supply for the simulations.
- Bring Clothing that can get recked and dirty, we will use tomato sauce (or something else that’s suggested before the day as fake blood).
I dont want to come up with all the simulations and to be honest dont know what all the gorey ways people have been messed up in all the sports, as such Please comment a scenario you think we should run in your comment too.
If you are interested please sign up! If your first aid qual is not on your profile or is not a common one, mention it in the comments.
I am very open to suggestions and havent done this before so please reach out to me if you have any ideas. I am particularly interested for help from you if you have relevant actual training (REGUARDLESS of first aid training or club membership status), I.E. Med student/Doctor/Nurse, First Responder, Defence, Guide etc for help, your knowledge and experience in the lead up and on the day.
