Thank You
A big thank you to all that attended the course and to everyone that supported the idea, it was your help and support that gave me the impetus to bring it from just an idea to a registered, certified course. In fact the course is now registered and titled “Adventure Rider Emergency First Aid, with Remote Emergency Care Ireland. The certificate is valid for 3 years.
16 people from different clubs, back grounds gender and age took the course. It was a very long day and there was a lot covered. I know that on such a long day it can be very difficult to keep focused but I think that when we did the practical sessions you all perked up and got seriously involved, especially when it came to helmet removal, C-Spine management and dealing with the bloody bits.
I have already received emails and texts congratulating me on the course, but honestly guys, the congratulations are for you, without you the idea would have stayed that, just an idea.
Paul and Maeve from Bike Buyers Guide came along to see what it was all about, took some photos and talked to a few of us. So a big thanks to them as well. Paul is hoping to squeeze a bit of a feature about the course in one of the magazine's issues, so I’ll keep you up to date with how that goes.
I hope to run a another course soon and I will you inform of that.
I better not forget to say a big thanks to Geraldine for all her hard work, the venue, teas coffees and lunches. And thanks to Joe and Maria for there time and input in orgainsing the content of the course.
Now where’s me OSCAR
