The SISSS00126 Wilderness First Aid course equips outdoor recreation leaders with essential skills to respond effectively to emergencies in remote or isolated areas. It covers first aid response, life support, casualty management, incident coordination, and support for other first aiders until professional medical assistance arrives or evacuation is possible. This prepares individuals to handle prolonged care scenarios in challenging outdoor environments, ensuring the safety and well-being of those involved until further medical intervention can be accessed.
