Incident Management for Adventure Professionals.

Course Overview.

Incidents are a common occurrence in Adventurous Activities, ranging from those that cause a minor inconvenience to those that lead to significant harm and potentially damaging outcomes.

 As outdoor professionals we must, therefore, be able to deal effectively with incidents. Especially those which are likely in our operating environment.  Incidents when they occur, place significant pressure and stress on a leader and require fast thinking and effective problem solving, often this will be required in complex and dynamic situations.

 Failure to manage an incident effectively can lead to:

• Increased harm to individuals.
• Negligence and civil liability charges.
• Damage to reputation, both individual and industry.
• Loss of client confidence.
• Mental health issues for Leader and other group members.

This course will focus on those incident management skills that form the bridge between our professional prowess (leading, guiding, coaching and instruction) and first aid aptitude, covering topics such as, communication, casualty and group management, stabilisation of a situation and facilitating clear and logical thinking and problem solving when under pressure.

The Course will provide a certificate with list of all learning outcomes covered. Please not this is not a First Aid course but will cover aspects of first aid. it is therefore not suitable as a FA refresher. 

Start time 08:45 sharp. Finish approx 17:30. 

Please come prepared for a full day outdoor whatever the weather. Please also bring any incident management kit that you might normally carry (comms, first aid, shelter etc)
