Title: REC 3 - First Aid
Post by: Monkey Loving Bob on January 31, 2008, 19:14:45: Hey all,

I'm organising a REC3 first aid course, probably in early March depending on the instructor's availability. What I need to know beforehand is how many people are interested and able (financially) to attend. The course has a flat rate cost of â‚¬1800 so it'll broken down amongst whoever attends, the maximum number of people is 12 (i.e. â‚¬150 per person). If you are interested post up here and I'll be going forward on the basis of the interest shown.

Cheers,

Conor. ;D

Definite: Maybe: Accelerated Only:

This is what I have so far, correct me if I'm wrong on this as it stands. I hadn't intended on organising an accelerated course but those of you who are interested but have no prior first aid experience there may be something in the works that'll be suitable for you coming up fairly soon.

Post by: kmck on February 01, 2008, 08:31:39: A rec 3 is a first aid course that is for outdoor pursuits. If it is the accelerated one you don't need anything prior. Having a normal first aid is a good start.

Did someone tell me you're interested in a rec4. I was talking to Mick Treacy and he's on the lookout for others to make a course feasible.

Bear in mind that the rec courses are being phased out of the ICU's recommendation list. There is another course run by some group in UCC that's recognised by the medical coucil of Ireland or some buzz like that and it's taking over.

You don't need any particular water training to do any first-aid course.
EVERYBODY SHOULD DO A FIRST AID COURSE.

Paul, you have to do a rec 2 before you do a rec3 unless the course is what's known as an accelerated rec 3 that covers the two courses in one gruelling weekend.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Were currently looking at adding more courses onto the approved list rather then removing any.

Hey

Mingling can be fun! ;-D

Thanks for that info! :) I've trained previously in first aid, CPR, etc but nothing geared towards outdoor pursuits... If it's Rec3 accelerated count me in! :)

Post by: Nuala on February 03, 2008, 14:05:39: I haven't done any first aid before - even if this is accelerated, is it still too advanced?

If not I would be interested.

Post by: kmck on February 04, 2008, 20:15:44: Everthing is covered, it helps a little to know first aid but you should do it. everyone should do it nothing to do with paddling ability. The amount of people I have patched up from nights out is huge.
Title: Re: REC 3 - First Aid
Post by: Kat on February 05, 2008, 18:31:48: Hey, Would love to do it. Have only tiny bit of first aid experience from about 10yrs ago so would probably need the accelerated course also.
