| Alan Ayling | Jan 25 2023, 9:52pm | IMRA is offering a First Aid training course on SATURDAY 11th MARCH. Venue = Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue Team base, Kilafin, Laragh, Co. Wicklow. Time =13:30 start, to finish around 20:00 hrs. Some food will be provided around teatime. Trainer = Paul Nolan, long time IMRA & GoIMRT member. Successful participants will gain a Remote Emergency Care Level 1 (REC1) certificate, valid for 2 years. IMRA will cover the cost; the expectation is participants will take on the volunteer role of First Aid Officer at races AT LEAST TWICE during their certified 2 years. The timing is designed to allow participants to run the Trooperstown race beforehand if they wish. Some physical activity will be required during the CPR part of the course, later in the day. Some First Aid scenarios will be involved too. The number of places is limited. If interested please email me at alan dot ayling at imra dot ie (please email rather than replying on here). If the number of places becomes full anyone after that will go on a list, which will be managed by email. |

The course was very informative and hands-on, with a focus towards our outdoor sport. Thoroughly recommended. |
