OUTWARDLY MOBILE FIRST AID TRAINING GUIDELINES
1-Day Emergency First Aid at Work Course

Training provided by Outwardly Mobile continues to be comprehensive and ‘as practical as possible’.
But, in keeping with all things ‘First Aid’, ‘people safety’ is the major priority. This includes our
remaining vigilant to help keep viruses at bay.

Most of our First Aid training programmes are delivered at Badaguish Centre, Aviemore. PH22 1AD,
with other courses delivered across Scotland at suitable venues chosen and funded by the
Organisations requesting bespoke, group courses.

Here are some of the measures we have in place to ensure participant safety in these programmes:

  • Pre-booking is essential
  • Numbers on courses – normally a maximum of 12 participants.
  • Anyone with a temperature and/or displaying any other signs of any viral infection/illness should postpone their attendance, with a view to taking part on a later date.
  • It is good practice for nitrile gloves (provided) to be worn during all practical sessions.
  • Although no longer mandatory, during courses, students may still wish to wear their own appropriate face covering whilst in proximity of fellow students, particularly in practical sessions, where students are working in pairs or small groups.
  • Each student will have their own dedicated mannequin.
  • Mannequins are thoroughly sanitised, including disinfection of faces and replacement, fresh
    ‘lungs’, installed immediately following every course
  • Resuscitation Council Guidelines require students to demonstrate, on another person, safe
    airway/recovery position, as well as effective CPR using a mannequin.
  • All programmes are compliant with HSE and Resuscitation Council Protocols & Procedures.

GENERAL INFO:

  • Courses normally run 09.00h – 17.00h.
  • Those attending the course should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, suitable for
    taking part in practical sessions, which can involve being a ‘casualty’, lying on the floor, etc.
  • Individual payment to be made online at the time of booking.
    (Businesses/organisations seeking a bespoke course should contact us directly.)
  • Full payment is required for cancellations within the 14 days leading up to a course.
  • There is a requirement for Outwardly Mobile to have for their records, pre-course intimation
    of participant’s full name (~ as it will appear on certificate), personal email address & mobile
    number. Such details are stored securely for 3 years, after which time a reminder will be sent,
    and then the details are destroyed appropriately.
