First Aid at Work Completed

Over the weekend of 8th-10th March 2019, 10 volunteers and 2 Cadets took part in a First Aid at Work course, delivered by Nuco Training and Mr Jordan Throop. The Training took place all weekend, including lots of practical. These awards allow for some of these staff to now be able to deliver First Aid Training to the cadets, but also make sure that we have sufficient staff qualified in First Aid should the need ever arrise. This is the most First Aid at Work qualified staff we have ever had, and this clearly moves the unit forward both in terms of First Aid delivery and our quest to enter more First Aid competitions.
