The details - where and when:
Saturday 22nd Feb
The Track clubhouse, Eamonn Ceannt Park, Sundrive road, Dublin, Ireland 12
9.30am to 5pm approx (depending on breaks!)

Cost:
We are getting a very good discount from the provider, with this help the cost of this course would normally be €50 per head but the club is subsidising half so it will be €25 per person and you will get certification for 2 years in return.

The course providers:
The course is being run by a company called Venturesafe ( www.venturesafe.ie .)

From their emails:
"The course will include all of your list, In addition crucially I will also cover Cardiac Arrest and AED use, as well as anaphylaxis, heat stoke, hypothermia and dehydration.

For cyclists I concentrate a bit more on their most common traumas, such as wrist and lower arm fractures, fractured collar bones, dislocated shoulders etc. I also add in using stuff you are likely to carry for treatment. Such as inner tubes for slings & splints, pumps and seat posts for splints and using cycling specific clothing ( I m sure a percentage of your group will have cycled and be in their gear anyway)

I have run the course previously for triathlon clubs and the HQ staff of Triathlon Ireland."

Each student will receive :
A pocket mask, with case and gloves
A face Shield on a key ring
A Basic First Aid manual
Red emergency card
FAST assessment card
Relevant handouts.

Well done to everyone who completed the First Aid Course today! By all accounts it was an excellent day with loads of practical information learnt - now we just hope they never need to use it!

We will be running another course on Saturday the 7th of March and at the moment there are 2 spaces available. Please reply to this thread if you would like to be included. If we get enough interest we may run more courses in the future.

Some photos from today thanks to John Collins and Colm Featherstone.
