    If you've had first aid training, it's likely you’ve learned techniques in a classroom setting, perhaps practising skills like placing a dummy in the recovery position on the floor. But have you considered how you would apply that knowledge to an HGV driver experiencing a heart attack in their cab, whilst strapped into their seat, ten feet off the ground? If  not, then this unique session is for you.


    Tim will demonstrate how immersive and engaging training techniques, that reflect the real world scenarios in which that training will be needed, and give the knowledge,
    confidence and skills to act quickly and effectively when it matters most.
