Coaching NI has added a much requested “First Aid for Sport” course to its provision of high quality training for Sport. Our first scheduled courses are in May. The course costs £85 per person but for a limited time only it will be £75 per person. History of REC The CNI First Aid for Sport qualification is based on REC, Rescue Emergency Care and is a nationally recognised first aid training scheme. History of REC Developed and honed through the rigorous terrain of the outdoors, Rescue Emergency Care REC was originally founded by specialist doctors working in remote healthcare. REC evolved from the first aid courses set up by Dr Bob Phillips and colleagues. There was a need for a first aid course which went beyond that taught traditionally by the National Associations. The courses were designed to cover not only the first aid needed to meet the HSE guidelines, which are appropriate for people in urban environments with an ambulance never far away, but also for people working in remote areas, where advanced medical aid may be a long time coming or evacuation may be required. For this reason REC is widely adopted by outdoor pursuits. This course can be presented on Sundays or over two evenings Share this Article 0 0
