 cue to provide our members with a 2-day Remote Area First Aid (RAFA) cours

 e involve:&nbsp\;You will do online pre-learning before the course then un
 dertake a number of scenarios across the 2 days interspersed with teaching
  sessions. It will be an intense 2 days but rewarding and equip you with a
  nationally recognized qualification for your back country adventures. The
  course is being taught&nbsp\;by Dr Justine (an emergency&nbsp\;doctor and
  a super active member of BSAR) wrote a bespoke course for BSAR which is a
  great fit for our needs\, she will teach not only the what but also the w
 hy with first aid so when things happen outside of the scenario boundaries
  you will be able to make decisions to respond effectively (e.g. what abou
 t a snakebite on the torso?). There will be at least one additional scenar
 io day in the month or two after the course you will be expected to attend
  at least one of as a 2 day course is quite short.&nbsp\;\n\nWhere: 49 Fre

  them to lead trips.\n\nPre-work requirement: Pre-work is essential (there
