Emergency First Aid for Bikers

[Ravenbyrne]

I have seen various different threads on this subject before but they usually appear in the UK sections.

So, I was thinking.

Would there be any interest in an emergency first aid program aimed specifically at bikers.

My plan would be to present a one day course in the Dublin area sometime in the early new year.

Course instructors will tailor the contant of the course for motorcyclists.

Instructors are Phecc accredited instructors www.phecit.ie/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1 and these guys know there stuff.

There will be a charge involved but until I have some idea of numbers it's a difficult one to price.

If your interested in the concept please post on this thread.

Cheers,

Brian

[wessie]

whoever dreamed up that acronym, especially when extended for the website URL, has a sense of humour.

I can imagine some TD standing up in the Dáil Éireann and making a statement congratulating PHECC on their website PHECCIT.

Count me in, but I will need at least 5 weeks notice to get a day off work during the week.

No problem Stephen, I should have mentioned that I intend running the course on a Saturday

 

[J.F. Sebastian]

Count me in Brian...the only Saturday in January I might not be available for is the 22nd.

Fred.

 

[Jaws100]

Count me in as well Brian...subject to the date.

 

[Brendan]

Good idea. I've been looking for this training for a long time, even toyed with the idea of going to the UK. Please include me and if possible 1 other who's not a member here.

Would this be like the "First on the Scene" courses run in Joe Duffy's a few years ago?

 

[frank1200]

[BSD]

Interested pending date. I would need to give 3-4weeks notice for a Saturday off work.

Don't know..........

Did you do it and what did it cover

 

[Ravenbyrne]

Looking good so far.

I will post details as soon as I have agreed dates, costs, location and content.

If there was country wide interest we would certainly consider giving the course at various locations.

 

[Kamikaze]

I'd certainly do it if it was in Cork.

Might even be tempted to Dublin if it was tied with a.....oh, I don't know.........maybe a curry night or similar.

Good behaviour would have to be assured, though........ Another curryent thread will give you an idea of the people not to invite.

Thanks guys,

I am coordinating the course content at present with the instructors, so I hope to be in a position to provide costs and date my the end of next week.

What I can tell you is that the venue will be in Skerries North County Dublin.

There is very secure off street parking and an outside area where we could act out some scenarios.

Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided.

Cheers,
Brian
