Types of Training
“To ensure our first aid training was adequate to cover all potential injuries we attended a first aid course with additional catastrophic bleed control training. The course was incredibly informative. Kate’s knowledge was extensive and her clear and engaging delivery ensured I left the course feeling confident and with a secure understanding of how to deliver care if I needed to. ”
