--- Quote ---Yes it is something that should be taught early, unfortunately the government think it is more important to teach religious education and how to be a good citizen rather than important things that could be really useful in life Sad

Agreed
Got me think though. Will have a word with the head of "Life Skills" (thats what the kids who wont get a GCSE do) and see if something can be done. If they can pass a basic first aider test it instantly makes them more employable.

--- Quote from: "lenster" ---Following the unfortunate events at coney green, if any regional club would like a quick session on trauma care to patients following a vehicle incident then drop me a pm.
It will cover airway management/c-spine protection/basic life support.
Its all current stuff, no lectures, just a bit of advice on how you can look after your mates until the medics arrive.

I take it you will be the Trauma Trainer :wink: well worth others knowing.

Yeah I'd be up for it mate, sounds like a good idea TBH. We always go out laning with a rope and shovel don't we? but beyond a box of plasters I'm a bit clueless.
Anyway, I'm not familiar with the event to which you refer, should I be?

"Man killed in 4x4 off-road crash
The driver of a 4x4 vehicle has died after it rolled while he was using an off-road course in Worcestershire.
The vehicle was being driven along a dirt track near Coney Green Farm off Ribbesford Road, Stourport-on-Severn, on Sunday afternoon.
People tried to resuscitate the driver at the scene before ambulance crews arrived but he was pronounced dead.
A 15-year-old boy from Bromsgrove suffered head injuries and was taken to hospital as a precaution.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "The field where the accident happened was about a mile down a dirt track from the main road.
"There appeared to be a sort of course that the vehicle had been following when the accident happened." "
:shock: Absolute tragedy. Heartfelt condolences to all involved.
