Below are highlighted some of the many possibilities available through our Hathersage office...from basic non-certificated training courses to tailored modules for existing first aiders wishing to assess and boost their leadership skills & teamwork skills. We can set up realistic scenarios indoors and oudoors and in places where, for example, access is not easy. Peak Activities Ltd's staff are increasingly being asked to include elements of first aid training in some of our popular team development & leadership training events run for our commercial and industrial clients. As safety standards rise it's increasingly rarer for many first aiders to have "hands on" practical experience of looking after people injured in accidents. Whilst that's a good thing in many ways it means there's increasingly scope for Peak Activities Ltd's staff to run realistic training and evaluation scenarios against which individuals and teams of first aiders can be trained and assessed.

Informal Mountain Rescue & Emergency Care courses can now be arranged here for groups of six or more. These are ideal for people such as scout leaders, teachers and outdoor tutors who may be called upon to render assistance to injured people in remote areassuch as mountain tops or in places like caves far from immediate help. Many of our staff have a lot of in-house expertise in casualty evacuation, and so a variety of mountain rescue training scenarious & cave rescue exercises are also possible here as part of staff development and training confidence building and team building programmes. We can easily incorporate sessions of indoor or outdoor first-aid training and/or casualty care into our clients tailored outdoor programmes. This could have a lasting & useful impact on some of your course's participants ...and may give your decision -making tasks a really useful, practical and vivid atmosphere !
Ben Church and Cheryl Frost Harman, two of our part-time instructors, on an in-house training programme learning the best way to place a plastic airway device safely into an "unconscious" volunteer. DID YOU KNOW ? Up to 80% of all unconscious real casualties can die if steps are not taken to position them safely or equip them to avoid choking.... ....which is a good reason for having well- trained & qualified personnel around pending the arrival of much more competent first aid or medical assistance.
Above : placing a casualty in a safer breathing position after a "simulated drowning incident " during a multi-casualty triage exercise involving six first aiders lworking together looking after nine injured casualties. We run certificate 3-day HSE first-aid courses from time to time for our own staff's professional development. These events are also open to members of the public, aspirant instructors and staff from other outdoor centres. Call us if you want to set up a tailored event to put your first aiders through their paces (tactical evaluation) or if you have people needing initial training or re-certification. .. Some of LE's Cottam Power Station's first aiders working from LE underground during a MIMMS training exercise to boost the team's awareness that communications can be one of the first casualties during a mutli-victim incident. All too often during a multi-casulaty incident it is not a lack of help that is the problem but a lack of clear direction and leadership. This is why a rapid initial casualty triage sieve may be so important before assigning staff and resources to specific casulaties. In a cave scenario where it is dark and wet and very "alien" this can help us heighten the emotions and accelerate the learning processes we are involved with. It's also vivid and a lot of fun too !
