Prehospital Care

First Response Emergency Care Level 3 (FREC 3) Qualsafe (RQF)

First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) courses are held every month in the Peak District.  We are easily accessible from Manchester Airport for overseas particpants.  We aim to make this regulated qualification as practical as possible.  To enhance learning, some practical sessions are conducted outside in a mix of urban and wilderness environments.  Our training facility is in the midst of acres of private land so we can get on and practice uninterrupted. We have a strong Wifi signal and 4G so we can easily take out a waterproof smart phone or tablet to show short media clips.

Participants are introduced to a variety of pre-hospital care equipment such as tourniquets and haemostats to arrest catastrophic or life threatening bleeding.  Pelvic splints are part of this regulated qualification with plenty of practice in varied terrain:  easy to apply in a classroom but more challenging outside in the mud, rain or on a steep slope.  If you are wondering how a pelvic splint is used to minimise bleeding then you can view some details on YouTube.  If you would like to know more about the FREC 3 and how it may benefit you in the security industry, armed forces, outdoor education or community responder scheme to name a few, then please contact us on 01433 621484 or info@highpeakfirstaid.co.uk.  We respond to calls and emails outside office hours for those on different time zones.

First Response Emergency Care Level 3

We now have two courses a month for the FREC 3 qualification.  The qualification is on the Regulated Qualification Framework and overseen by the Awarding Body, Qualsafe.

Employers in the Security Industry are increasingly asking for security staff to take the FREC suite of qualifications to validate their first aid skills for working in remote or austere environments.  The FREC 3 can be used by any person wishing to gain a regulated qualification in first aid that gives them a solid grounding on which to build further skills.  If your job involves working overseas you have the option of achieving a recognised qualification and combining this with post-course work connected to your environment.  High Peak First Aid can assist you with modules from our High Peak Wilderness First Aid Expedition Leader 24hr course.  For example you may be going to altitude so we give you access to our resources on altitude to develop your knowledge.  For expedition leaders going on remote trips who may be taking a medical professional, there is the option to develop your post course knowledge with modules from the High Peak Wilderness First Aid Expedition Leader 40hr course,

There is the option to pay by instalments for the FREC 3 qualification and we have a First Response Emergency Care Level 4 course in September.  FREC 3 is £594 inc VAT and FREC 4 is £630, however, for both courses booked, there is the option to pay by instalments and receive a discount.  If you are interested in the FREC 3 please see dates on the FREC 3 page.  If you would like to discuss both the FREC 3 and FREC 4, please contact nicola@highpeakfirstaid.co.uk or call 01433 621484/07931 360328.
