Wilderness First Aid at Northfield Mountain
Our Wilderness First Aid Courses are designed for people who spend time in the wilderness and encounter the associated risks. While the types of illnesses and injuries addressed are similar to Basic First Aid, more advanced and improvised techniques are taught allowing participants to manage environmental hazards and the expected delay in reaching hospital care.
Course Content
This First Aid course is designed to teach participants to prevent, recognize, and treat the following illnesses and injuries:
Eye and Facial injuries
Shock
Head trauma
Sprains
Fractures
Burns
Severe allergic reactions
Poisoning
Bites and stings
Heat exhaustion
Hypothermia, Heat exhaustion and Heat stroke

Dressing for survival
This course uses real-life scenarios to dramatize illnesses and injuries. It also allows the participants to repeatedly practice in a simulated stressful situation and therefore integrate the skills learned during the classroom format.
