NOLS Wilderness Medicine (https://www.nols.edu/en/courses/wilderness-medicine/) första-hjälpenkurs fokuserar på friluftsrelaterade skador och sjukdomar. Vi varvar inom- och utomhus lektioner, demonstrationer och praktik hela tiden. Kanske måste du göra en patientundersökning samt plåstra om en vän som blöder från ett sår i ansiktet. Kanske måste du hjälpa en deltagare som har en kraftig allergisk reaktion eller ta hand om en vän vars axel hoppat ur led. Vårt mål är att göra våra sjukvårdsscenarier så realistiska som möjligt. Vi är oftast ute en timme och sedan inomhus en timme eller två.

På 3-dagars långa första-hjälpenkurser har vi lite extra tid för diskussioner, reflektion och ett nattscenario. Nattscenariet gör denna kurs unik jämte med de andra korta kurserna.

Kursmaterialet täcker bl.a. patientundersökning, magkramper, vrickade fötter, synförändringar, urledvridningar, infektioner, brutna ben, medvetslöshet, brännskador, behandlingsmetoder, spjälning av brutna ben, allergier, nedkylning, värmerelaterade sjukdomar och evakueringsbeslut mm.

50 % av kursen är realistiska scenarier där du får öva på vad du har lärt dig. All deltagare kommer att vara både “patienter” och “sjukvårdare”.  50 % är teori, lektion och diskussion om olyckshändelser, sjukdomar och evakuerings-beslut.

Vårt mål är att L-ABCDE och den fokuserade patientundersökningen ska sitta i ryggmärgen efter dessa dagar och att alla deltagare ska få självförtroende att göra sitt bästa om en olycka sker.

Join us in Flåm, Norway for an international Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course. The WFR course is designed to provide you with the tools to take care of an injured person and to make critical medical and evacuation decisions in remote locations.

The skills learned on a WFR course are needed whether you are a climber, a sea kayak instructor, a mountaineer, a backpacker or a person who live far away from clinics and hospitals. Calling 911 (US) or 112 (Europe) is not always possible.

The WFR course type is highly recommended for members of ATTA, Svenska Fjälledare (Swedish Mountain Guides) and may other organizations.

Classroom lectures and demonstrations are combined with realistic scenarios where mock patients will challenge you to integrate your learning.

Half of your time will be spent completing practical skills, case studies and scenarios designed to challenge your decision making abilities. Learning takes place both in the classroom and in outdoor settings regardless of weather conditions. Come prepared for wet, muddy, cold or hot environments.

This WFR course is held in Flåm, Norway. The small community of Flåm sits by the shore of Aurland Fjord – part of the mighty Sognefjord. Njord Kayak is our host and lodging is included in your course fee at the Flåm Camp & Hostel. The course is open to the public and we usually receive participants from all over Europe. Click on the link for the detailed course description below.

Participants are required to pass both written and practical examinations to obtain WFR and CPR certification. Successful course completion earns you a NOLS Wilderness Medicine Adult & Child CPR certification and a NOLS Wilderness Medicine Wilderness First Responder international certification.

The NOLS Wilderness Medicine 80-hour Wilderness First Responder course is international industry standard.

KURSSIN KUVAUS: NOLS retkeilijän ensiapukurssi on käytännönläheinen ja nopeatempoinen kurssi paljon matkustaville ja luonnossa viihtyville. Kurssilla käsitellään monipuolisesti retkeilijän ensiapuun ja terveydenhoitoon liittyviä asioita.

Kurssilla yhdistyvät luentomainen opetus ja käytännön harjoitukset niin sisällä kuin ulkonakin. Kolmen kurssipäivän aikana opit varautumaan odottamattomiin tilanteisiin ja saat tiedot, taidot ja osaamisen, joiden avulla pystyt tekemään järkeviä, harkittuja päätöksiä hätätilanteissa. Oli takamailla samoilu sitten intohimosi tai ammattisi, kysymyksen “mitä minun nyt pitäisi tehdä” ei pitäisi tulla hätätilanteessa mieleesi. Kurssi sopii erityisesti matkanjohtajille, leirinohjaajille, paljon luonnossa liikkuville ja syrjäseuduilla viihtyville.

NOLS retkeilijän ensiapukurssi on useiden amerikkalaisten organisaatioiden hyväksymä (mm. American Camping Association, the United States Forest Service). Euroopassa NOLSin ensiapukurssit ovat hyvää vauhtia vakiinnuttamassa asemaansa retkeilyalan toimijoiden ja kesäleirien järjestäjien keskuudessa. Pohjoismaissa ja Euroopassa NOLSin ensiapukursseja on järjestetty jo vuodesta 2000.

KURSSIN KUVAUS: NOLS retkeilijän ensiapukurssi on käytännönläheinen ja nopeatempoinen kurssi paljon matkustaville ja luonnossa viihtyville. Kurssilla käsitellään monipuolisesti retkeilijän ensiapuun ja terveydenhoitoon liittyviä asioita.

Kurssilla yhdistyvät luentomainen opetus ja käytännön harjoitukset niin sisällä kuin ulkonakin. Kolmen kurssipäivän aikana opit varautumaan odottamattomiin tilanteisiin ja saat tiedot, taidot ja osaamisen, joiden avulla pystyt tekemään järkeviä, harkittuja päätöksiä hätätilanteissa. Oli takamailla samoilu sitten intohimosi tai ammattisi, kysymyksen “mitä minun nyt pitäisi tehdä” ei pitäisi tulla hätätilanteessa mieleesi. Kurssi sopii erityisesti matkanjohtajille, leirinohjaajille, paljon luonnossa liikkuville ja syrjäseuduilla viihtyville.

NOLS retkeilijän ensiapukurssi on useiden amerikkalaisten organisaatioiden hyväksymä (mm. American Camping Association, the United States Forest Service). Euroopassa NOLSin ensiapukurssit ovat hyvää vauhtia vakiinnuttamassa asemaansa retkeilyalan toimijoiden ja kesäleirien järjestäjien keskuudessa. Pohjoismaissa ja Euroopassa NOLSin ensiapukursseja on järjestetty jo vuodesta 2000.

NOLS Wilderness Medicine (https://www.nols.edu/en/courses/wilderness-medicine/) första-hjälpenkurs fokuserar på friluftsrelaterade skador och sjukdomar. Vi varvar inom- och utomhus lektioner, demonstrationer och praktik hela tiden. Kanske måste du göra en patientundersökning samt plåstra om en vän som blöder från ett sår i ansiktet. Kanske måste du hjälpa en deltagare som har en kraftig allergisk reaktion eller ta hand om en vän vars axel hoppat ur led. Vårt mål är att göra våra sjukvårdsscenarier så realistiska som möjligt. Vi är oftast ute en timme och sedan inomhus en timme eller två.

På 3-dagars långa första-hjälpenkurser har vi lite extra tid för diskussioner, reflektion och ett nattscenario. Nattscenariet gör denna kurs unik jämte med de andra korta kurserna.

Kursmaterialet täcker bl.a. patientundersökning, magkramper, vrickade fötter, synförändringar, urledvridningar, infektioner, brutna ben, medvetslöshet, brännskador, behandlingsmetoder, spjälning av brutna ben, allergier, nedkylning, värmerelaterade sjukdomar och evakueringsbeslut mm.

50 % av kursen är realistiska scenarier där du får öva på vad du har lärt dig. All deltagare kommer att vara både “patienter” och “sjukvårdare”.  50 % är teori, lektion och diskussion om olyckshändelser, sjukdomar och evakuerings-beslut.

Vårt mål är att L-ABCDE och den fokuserade patientundersökningen ska sitta i ryggmärgen efter dessa dagar och att alla deltagare ska få självförtroende att göra sitt bästa om en olycka sker.

I kurspriset ingår ett 30-sidigt kursmaterial, snusnäsduk med patientundersökning, första-hjälpen Pocket Guide, HLR-certifiering samt NOLS Wilderness Medicine internationella Wilderness First Aid certifiering. Inkluderat är också kaffe, te, frukt och snacks under kursdagarna.
