Another awesome week on the Te Roro Te Rangi Marae in Rotorua in Febuary. Peak Safety ran a PreHospital Emergency Care couse and a PreHospital Emergency Care refresher during the week and managed to get out and about into the bush to put the classroom theory into a practical setting.

The PHEC course is certainly a big tax on the old brain but everyone coped well and passed the course with ease. Feedback suggests that the pre course PHEC assignment, the mid week assignment and the exam were all valuable learning tools as were the graphic video sections.

The last 2 days of the course saw several students join the group for a PreHospital Emergency Care refresher. They were immediately thrust into the hot seat and into a good scenario involving a mini eruption.

Included in the couse for the first time were some advanced airway management techniques as well as Intra Muscular Injection practices and a suturing demo. The usual course content was still there with a special emphasis on the Outdoor First Aid specific injuries and medical conditions.

Thanks to all who attended and we hope to catch you all out there on your adventures.
