The Pre Hospital Emergency Care (PHEC) Workshop:
This is the advanced outdoor first aid qualification recognised by New Zealand outdoor education and adventure tourism providers. During the 5-day programme the theory of medical emergencies and treatment is presented in an interactive and exciting manner. Participants then apply this knowledge by attending to realistic emergency scenarios. This hands-on, practical approach dramatically improves the retention of information, and better prepares participants to manage emergencies when access to medical facilities and equipment is limited.
Content Includes:
- Patient assessment
- Resuscitation - including oxygen therapy
- Fracture and wound management

On-site PHEC Courses PHEC Refreshers and Outdoor First Aid:
- If you are prepared to 'sponsor' a PHEC course we can deliver one on-site, at your place for your team. You will need to provide a minimum number of participants - and you may even be able to make some savings.
- On-site PHEC Refresher / Outdoor First Aid scenario workshops are also popular with a number of leading adventure education/tourism organisations.
- PHEC Refreshers - the industry standard to retain PHEC currency is attendance at a Refresher programme every 2 years - these programmes are also run in both spring and autumn.
