ABOUT RESCUE EMERGENCY CARE

REC has been providing first aid courses for the outdoor sector for over 30 years and is a well-known and respected first aid training organisation. In October 2013, HSE ceased to monitor or approve First Aid at Work training providers in England, Wales and Scotland. Instead, companies are advised to carry out due diligence on any training provider that they might use, and HSE have published a list of questions that you should be asking of the provider. We have the questions here, along with answers.

First aid courses which are recognised by Mountain Training UK (MTUK), British Orienteering Federation (BOF), Royal Yachting Association (RYA), British Canoe Union (BCU) and many other National Sporting Governing Bodies.

The Rescue Emergency Care scheme was originally devised by Dr Bob Phillips and Prof G Page for the Scottish Ski Patrols. It was felt that other more traditional National First Aid Associations did not make provision for those individuals operating in more remote areas.

Rescue Emergency Care (REC) courses were therefore designed to cover not only the first aid needs required to meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, but also first aid for those people working or playing in more remote areas. First aid for times when medical help is often hours instead of minutes away, and environmental issues such as the weather and working in difficult and remote terrains must be considered.

Well done for such a thorough and detailed course in light of the COVID challenges. Excellent standard of delivery, learnt so much.October 2020

Thank you so much for a great couple of days. I wanted to tell you that you’re teaching style is so engaging and encouraging, and clearly showed your commitment to delivering the course in this way, was so evident that you cared about what you were doing and that you wanted us to be competent REC first aiders.
Despite the restrictions that we still have, it was a great course. I chose you specifically because of your CV and experience and the way you related the syllabus to your experiences really helped bring an extra element to the course.
I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who asks and indeed I already have on social media and will continue to do so.
Thank you so much Lou, it was a pleasure meeting you and may I wish you every success and safe times for the future.'
Kindest regards
Neill.
