Watch our First Aid videos
Pre Hospital care is absolutely vital in LMIC’s due to the nature of the environments and the time it takes to get to help. Tim Beacon our CEO, has extensive experience in this area having worked in these environments for many years, being a civilian instructor on the UK Military Special Forces Medical Course and also a Primary Trauma Care instructor. Seeing so often the effects of poor first aid treatment, he was passionate about sharing his knowledge in order to improve this area of care. These videos are taken from our Biomedical Engineering programme and have been reported as extremely helpful to students who have taken the programme.

“These First Aid videos are truly superb. They abide by the well researched and validated maxim of KISS - Keeping It Short & Simple. They also use outstanding cartoon graphics which have also been shown in research performed in Orthopaedic Trauma to be the best way of getting across a message succinctly, well and pleasing all groups. These compliment the courses provided beyond First Aid of Advanced Trauma Life Support in High Income Countries and Primary Trauma Care in Low & Middle Income Countries.”
