WORKSHOP CONTENT & LEARNING OUTCOMES
Being an outdoor instructor on the days when things go smoothly is the best job in the world, but unfortunately, things can quickly go wrong.
Join us for a visit to Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue's base to get tips on how to prepare in advance to stop a small incident escalating, how to best react in the event of an emergency, and what happens when you call for assistance.
This will be a fascinating evening to learn more about one of the busiest Mountain Rescue Teams in the country. During the visit you will learn more about their amazing work, see the range of kit and capabilities it can be used for from a logistics, medical, rigging, water and mountain safety viewpoint.
This knowledge will help you become a safer and better leader, ensuring you carry the right group kit and enable you to act quickly and effectively at the scene of an accident, whilst managing the casualty/s as well as the rest of the Group. You will also learn about communications, working around helicopters, group management and discuss what equipment you should be carrying vs. what Mountain Resue will bring to the scene in the event of an accident.
Outcomes:
1. Meet up and connect with other Lake District based MTA members.
2. Increased awareness about how Mountain Rescue works and the agencies that they work alongside.
3. Feel better equipped to make better decisions when leading groups as well as what to prioritise should an incident occur.
Please note: this is a peer-led event and all attendees are responsible for their own safety and should behave responsibly at all times.
