Frontline Freelance Register (FFR) and Frontline Club are running a one day travel and trauma first aid refresher course led by 1st Option – The Safety Group.

1st Option are a leading provider  provider of safety advice, support, training and equipment to the media and entertainment sector and their clients include the BBC, ITN, Channel 4, CNN, NBC, Washington Post, Alaraby TV, Global Radio among others.

*Please note the course is aimed at journalists who have already completed a hostile environment and first aid training in the last 3 years and who wish to keep their skills up-to-date.

The course will be held before the start of the Byline Festival, at the same location, and participants to the course will receive complementary tickets to the weekend festival.

If you have done a first aid course before or a hostile environment course, then this is the one-day programme to refresh those skills. This practical workshop will allow you to update your core skills to save someone’s life in the field.

We’ll cover basic life support – breathing and bleeding and other useful tips – as well as how to do this in a hostile environment. Our practical simulations will provide you with a good reminder of what to do and refresh those forgotten skills.

If you have any queries about course content then please contact Caroline Neil.
