The purpose of this course is to equip the cyclist first aider with the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence to carry out the initial assessment and management of first aid emergencies related to cycling.
Cyclists have a high incidence of road accidents, spinal injuries, head injuries and serious fractures and first aid given at the scene can make a real difference to the outcome of the patient. Cyclists are often in locations remote to emergency medical services and therefore need skills that are not normally available on a workplace first aid course.

Additional information

This course has been developed in conjunction with local cycling clubs to meet the needs of cyclists.  A traditional first aid course relies on equipment being available and near skilled help.  This course will teach you what to do without those.
