NOLS Wilderness Medicine Första-Hjälpenkurser

Grimslöfs Folkhögskola i Småland står som värd för denna kurs. Endast ett fåtal platser är öppna för allmänheten.  Kursen undervisas på svenska.

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 – vi varvar lektioner och scenarier hela dagarna.

Kursmaterialet täcker bl.a. patientundersökning, magkramper, vrickade fötter, 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.

Crossing Latitudes and the Slovenian Canyoning Federation are together hosting the very first NOLS Wilderness Medicine course in Slovenia. We hope for international participation just like the WFR courses in Norway and Switzerland each year.

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.

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 at Kamp Koren, Kobarid, Slovenia. https://www.campingslovenia.com/

We highly recommend that you book your lodging (tent site, caravan, an Eco chalet or glamping) at Kamp Koren – situated by the Soca River only 500 meters from the town of Kobarid. When you book your lodging at Kamp Koren mention that you are taking the NOLS Wilderness Medicine course. Phone: +386 (0)5 389 13 11 Email: info@kamp-koren.si

How about arriving a day or two before or stay after the first aid course and enjoy kayaking, fishing, mountain cycling, climbing, paragliding, walking … Check out Kamp Koren’s activities at: https://www.campingslovenia.com/sport-activities

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.

SARInfo står som värd för denna 3-dagars NOLS Wilderness Medicine kurs. Kursen undervisas på svenska.

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.

Crossing Latitudes and the Slovenian Canyoning Federation are together hosting the very first NOLS Wilderness Medicine course in Slovenia. We hope for international participation just like the WFR courses in Norway and Switzerland each year.

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.

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 at Kamp Koren, Kobarid, Slovenia. https://www.campingslovenia.com/

We highly recommend that you book your lodging (tent site, caravan, an Eco chalet or glamping) at Kamp Koren – situated by the Soca River only 500 meters from the town of Kobarid. When you book your lodging at Kamp Koren mention that you are taking the NOLS Wilderness Medicine course. Phone: +386 (0)5 389 13 11 Email: info@kamp-koren.si

How about arriving a day or two before or stay after the first aid course and enjoy kayaking, fishing, mountain cycling, climbing, paragliding, walking … Check out Kamp Koren’s activities at: https://www.campingslovenia.com/sport-activities

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.

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.
