This week our regular Wednesday training was all about doing the basics efficiently. We had five grid references to locate in the woods near Llangwyfan. At each there was a task to complete.

1. Put our Bell Stretcher together and attach the wheel.

2. Splinting for a potential femur and lower leg fracture (on different legs)

3. Casualty assessment for spinal injuries and movement/lifting from a difficult location.

4. Putting a casualty onto our vacuum mattress.

5. CPR and basic life support with defibrillator use.
