Craig Sutton gave 15 club members an interesting and entertaining evening introducing aspects of First Aid appropriate for orienteers on Thursday.

NEW: Cardi-O - article by Peter Hambleton of Sarum OC on being heart-aware

Craig (of Somerset Training) was able to bring his "real life" experience as a paramedic to the session, on 6 December.

What was covered:

• Assess an incident
• Manage an unresponsive casualty who is breathing normally
• Manage an unresponsive casualty who is not breathing normally
• Recognise and assist a casualty who is choking
• Manage a casualty with external bleeding
• Manage injuries to bones, muscles and joints
• Manage a casualty with a head injury

All delegates received a certificate and a manual.
