Mountaineering Scotland runs two-day First Aid courses for members, specially targeted at hill walkers and climbers. The course is recognised by Mountain Training Scotland (MTS) as appropriate for its Mountain Leader (ML) awards. The courses are run by BASP UK (www.basp.org.uk) using a variety of instructors who all have many years practical experience in dealing with First Aid in remote situations.
Due to changes in our staff team, the course program for spring and summer 2022 is likely to be available for booking slightly later than usual and we hope to be able to open booking in late February/March 2022. Members will be informed when bookings open and details will be available on our website and social media channels as usual.
Entry level course, suitable for people new to hill walking or those who are returning to the hills after a break. The course involves practical outdoor sessions.
Our first aid course is aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills to deal with an unexpected emergency in the great outdoors. Aspects covered will include casualty assessment, environmental issues, trauma, medical conditions, how to stabilise a situation whilst waiting for professional help to arrive and the technique of CPR.

"First Aid at Work now assumes the early arrival of an ambulance/paramedic which will not be the case on the hills. Thus this course is an essential for those accessing the hills."
"The instructor's experience and knowledge was amazing, which made the course really interesting
