Intended Audience
The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification, ideal for those looking to work or volunteer as a first responder.
Among the first to arrive at a scene, first responders typically include police officers, firefighters, and those providing medical cover at festivals and events such as Emergency/Community First Responders, Door Supervisors, Close Protection Operatives and Security Guards as well as those working in high risk environments including the military, power stations, agriculture and manufacturing.
Overview
This informative, hands-on 5-day course fulfils the competencies set out in the PHEM skills framework at descriptor level D, providing the knowledge and practical skills needed to deal with a range of prehospital emergency and urgent care situations. In addition to this, at K2 International we deliver this course with a focus on Challenging Environment Operations. This means that we cover all of the key aspects of FREC listed below (the formal techniques) as well as informal techniques/improvisation methods needed when operating as a first responder in austere, remote, hostile and/or resource limited environments/contexts.
The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) covers:
Scene assessment and safety management
Basic Life Support (CPR and AED)
Management of catastrophic bleed using tourniquets and haemostatic agents
Management of C-spine and spinal fractures including immobilisation and vehicle extrication
Airway management including choking (liquid and solid), and use of OPAs, NPAs and SGAs (I-gel)
Administration of emergency oxygen and inhaled analgesia (Entonox/Nitronox and Penthrox)
Management of major limb, chest, abdominal and head trauma
Assessment and management of minor injuries such as strains, sprains and fractures
Management of major medical illnesses/diseases such as strokes, heart attacks, diabetic emergencies and much more!

Improvised techniques for managing catastrophic haemorrhage, suspected c-spine/spinal injuries, vehicle extrication without extrication equipment, and improvised use of common household items to manage burns, sprains, strains & fractures and much more!
Care Under Fire medical management techniques and care in semi-permissive environments. NB: this is simulated in one of our tactical villages and high-fidelity training aids with stage blood, flash bangs, smoke grenades and for an extra fee - paintball markers to return 'fire'
High energy RTC vehicle extrication with live helicopter extrication training (helicopter safety brief included) - and for an extra fee learners can even have a go in the helicopter! (NB: K2I-EOC cannot guarantee availability of the aircraft and this is provided free of charge.
