Don't panic it's only First Aid training!

Passers by at the Riverside Centre on Friday must have wondered what was going on. Bodies with "wounds" were strewn around with a screaming (but later unconscious man) calling for help. A team of men adorned with latex gloves arrived at the scene and gave emergency first aid. Of course it was all a scenario for an Outdoor First Aid course being run by RC Training Wales at the Riverside Centre. RC Training specialise in First Aid courses for groups and professionals working in more remote and challenging environments such as Arctic expeditions etc. One poor victim was deliberately dunked in the river fully clothed to simulate what to do to prevent hypothermia! There will be more courses run by Rob Clapham so expect to see more strange sights!
