I spent the morning
and part of the afternoon at Edale Mountain Rescue Team's base in
Hope taking the exam for the Casualty Care course.
Myself and four others from DCRO were there on the day for the
exam along with quite a few from Edale and some other Mountain Rescue Teams.
Everyone took and passed the
written part of the exam but things didn't go to well on the two
practical scenarios: a Trauma scenario and a Medical one.
Some failed on of their scenarios but were able to re-take and passed.
One failed both Trauma and Medical so that was it for him as you are
only allowed to fail one scenario and re-take on the day. I passed
both mine OK (Trauma was a caver who had fallen with abdominal
injuries and broken or dislocated shoulder, Medical was a woman at a
fund-raising event with a diabetic hypoglycaemia).
